There was a new piece of liturgy this year that we adopted, because the subscribers do like a little fresh content, and it’s by a queer cantor and it’s very simple:
May we be safe, may we be free, may we find space to just be.
If I can ask, and I know I shouldn't be leaning on random friendly acquaintances to essentially sensitivity read my silly comments (facepalm), is that phrase okay for non-Jews to use in a casual comment like mine was, as opposed to the English of it? I wonder similar about other holy day greetings; I don't want to be throwing around phrasing I have no right to.

I think it would be weird if you were going around saying it to other non-Jews of your acquaintance, but it doesn't strike me as rude to use the Hebrew when speaking with Jewish friends. If you were invited to a wedding or a b'nei mitzvah, it would be appropriate to say mazel tov rather than just congratulations. Two Jews, three opinions, obviously, but that's mine and I was the person you said it to!

Wasn't that a gorgeous sky? As if it were the synesthetic music of the conch, as if you'd played it.
May this year live up to it.
