“Come,
gentlemen, I hope we shall drink down all unkindness.”—William Shakespeare, The
Merry Wives of Windsor
As
another year is right round the corner, we are ready to ring out the old and
ring in the new one.
For
me it’s a time for contemplation too; looking back and ahead; awaiting the
wonder and the unexpected; the bright spots and the dark corners; delight for
the new vista in time and a tinge of sadness for the time lost forever.
Are
you reflective too? Do you also pause and be mindful of what was? Or would you
prefer to think of what is coming tomorrow and step into new beginnings? Do
you have your resolutions for the new year? How does 2024 inspire you as it
gathers itself for flight?
The
old calendar
fills
me with gratitude
like
a song.
