Blissful new year 2010

Crossing the Roman timeline, closing one chapter, entering the next, another step on the road of our lives, another year, another January 1st, another ball dropping in New York city, fireworks already popping on the other side of the hemisphere, an hour or so ago, it happened in Oakland, New Zealand. Later on tonight, it will be our turn. Meanwhile, the pathways of our lives, stretch, bending into unexpected curves, intertwining, bringing some together, pulling others apart, one moment at a time, Roman standards or not, we move forward, all of us, together, in circuitous circles, today blending with tomorrow, one moment at a time, to the rhythm of the sun and the moon, often fearful, often confused, airing, searching, seeking, helplessly groping for a hint of certainty, hurting ourselves, hurting others, spinning in circuitous circles, seeking peace, seeking love, tasting bliss one breath at a time, all of us, all at once, if only we choose to awaken, if only we choose to awaken.
Be well, and if you can, embrace all of it, the sweet, the bitter, the sad, the happy, the loss, the gain, the gift, the offering, the smile, the frown, the laughter, the cry...
At times embracing, at others resisting
