Diary 288
Thursday, December 31st
New Year’s Eve this year (perhaps every year) is a time to reassess what the last twelve months has been. I like to think that this ghastly year has been full of positive things, if we care to look. I’ve learned that we need to run around in circles less, that people we love are the only items that’re worth caring about, and that we all need to be kind, to look out for our neighbors. It’s been a year (for me) when all those restless ego desires for getting ahead and getting things done have finally revealed themselves as hollow. And at the forefront of this has been a ‘president’ who is all about himself, his fragile ego and what it requires to make him feel less like an abandoned baby. Yes, this year has been, for me, about watching the way the ego can run out of control.
For others the year has been cruel. And to me this conveyed that we need to be kind to all members of our world, always, as often as possible, and that we can start right now.
In the midst of winter there are bright berries on the trees, telling us that a Spring time of growth awaits. It’s never about the tree; it’s always about the growth. Happy New Year.
