Then and Now—Theme

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~T.S. Eliot, "Little Gidding"

I hesitate to use the word resolution because it sounds too formal and demanding, so I'll say hopes or dreams.

—to become more involved in any actions that advocate peace
—to write more and dip my pen into the writing of a first draft of a novel
—to toast one year of daily photoblog photos on January 5th and to take a break and only post once or twice a week
—to continue taking photos
—to expect new adventures
—to connect with people I haven't seen in awhile
—to being more aware of needs —on a local level
—to continue to learn Biblical Hebrew

I could go on and on, but I expect that the most important thing about a new year is the continued nurturing of my relationship with my partner (spouse)—Dorothy.

And what is a New Year if I don't give thanks for all my blessings—they are plentiful.

And in the New Year I wish health and joy for all —in my community of friends and relatives and on the photoblog.

"Holy One of Blessing, Your presence fills creation."
