January 2026: A New Year Wish From Hanna
Dear folks,
Here is a New Year’s blessing Hanna wrote and recorded in 2022. (The version Hanna reads is just a little different than the one in the picture.)

Writing now to you—the extended family connected through the damned mystery of Hanna’s illness—it’s like looking out across a lacy living fabric. A net, alive. I feel… it’s not exactly gratitude. It’s more like wonder. Thank you all. Sending all those wishes from Hanna out across the net. Peace to you. Deep roots to you, and sun on your branches.

A version of this poem is also available here as a printed greeting card. (South Africans, one of my aims for the coming year is to establish local printing and distribution of Hanna’s cards and books for you. For now, I’m sorry that shipping of these cards from the US is prohibitively expensive.)
Thank you, as always, Hanna, for leading the way to joy.
So beautiful. Thanks for sharing — right on time. A gift, Hanna’s words, her artistry, her life. Sending lots of love to her, and to all of you
Beautiful and wise.
Thanks Hanna
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Sending wishes for a peaceful and resourced 2026.
Thank you, Hanna. You are always on my mind.
