New year underway towing along its usual barge load of prior year and year before that and year before....
Nothing sad or pathetic about the not so newness of a new year. Thankful, really, for some level of continuity, even continuity of trouble or pain generally mixed with some continuing comfort, joy, warm regards.
Horizon still ahead, still vaguely promising just as it always has been and will be I hope for many long time units to come.
Here, today, a morning again. Sunlight. Some touch of snow. Tracks tracing back already, some stranger left, making one more link with another new past.
