Begin Anew

The (Gregorian) calendar announces a new year. Though the sun comes up and goes down in a nicely predictable and ongoing fashion, this social construct catches our attention. Questions arise: What will be carried over to the fresh ledger from the old? What’s novel? What’s to be let go?

There are additional ways to mark time. Other calendars wrangle the lineup of seasons, lunar cycles, and solar years, while keeping festivals, equinoxes, and moon phases in sync. It can be easy to ‘wax and wane’ with New Year’s resolutions unless we believe in the authenticity of a new beginning.

Is the new year momentous enough to launch you into growth? Shift something subtly (or strongly) and find out!
