Now with some contrived and essential mark we measure this as a time of beginning, starting over to be met with resolute and refocused living. We stand on the horizon of this day drawing on every clarion call to gather the greatest of forces, the grandest of hopes and the masses of humanity around us - all to establish this elusive passing of time, this moment with the greatest of potential and confidence that now, here and for all that comes our life will be blessed, better, different, improved...
This now is then followed by the somber morning when the debris of the previous is scattered, flittering upon the ground around us and we find this New morning has embraced us, each singularly, and all that we have proclaimed in the midst of our cheering Auld Lang Syne community - now rest squarely upon our lone shoulders. We know, always have known, that whatever progress this life will find in the day ahead will come only from the first small, solitary steps toward it we take - and then another... In this each year is built and in this each life is lived, won, lost, blessed and founded. In this singular effort to live a life of value and worth we find, nay create, the illusive reality of community and family of like minded and action folk.
Here's to our New Year. Today I take that step to begin anew and I look forward to traveling with you...
