Something new

Something new. Blank page of another year. Month. Day. 

Unwritten. Unspoken. Unknown by me.

At the open door sits fresh, white snow as far as the eye can see. Waiting for the first footprint.

Looks like hope.

Unfolding year

Unfolding year before us. Already scheduled with best-laid plans that can so quickly come apart. Scatter. 

The unexpected changes calendars. Disrupts orderly lives. Next steps. 

A look back at the past year is case-in-point.

Stillness

After Christmas song and celebration. Days before a new year dawns. 

Welcome stillness. In your chair. On a porch. In the woods. At a coffee shop.

And take time for remembrance.

Practice a simple scroll through the past year’s calendar. Or go on a longer walk through your journals.

Wait. Listen.
