Another New Year Ahead

I don't think they'll make a movie out of this blog. There's not enough to hang a plot on or characters to contemplate or recipes for success. Just a note here and there about things on my mind. Today it's about my birthday and not feeling old enough to be the age I've turned.

Having two New Years makes resolutions revisions more tenable so here they are, new and revised. I guess you'd have to know what the originals were to know which is which. Sorry, that was a misplaced post.

Resolutions for my birthday:

1. have another birthday
2. spend more time with my family
3. finish my second book
4. master punctuation
5. master two new weave structures
6. practice yoga three times a week

That's more than enough, don't you think?

"Believe that a farther shore is reachable from here..." Seamus Heaney, The Cure at Troy

when we set sail at first we did not know

what our birth would set in motion

how the water would rock our cradle

where the current would carry our dreams

what our birth would set in motion

who would bear witness of our journey

how the cradle would be thrown upon the rocks

when the sails would become worn and frayed

where the current would carry our dreams

how reachable the far shore from here

who would follow the north star to old beginnings

what witness would the oracle then believe
