Happy New Year

Tuesday, January 1, 2008

It is a strange and disconcerting feeling beginning the New Year with ambivalence. At such an opportune time to look back and take stock of days past, to be thankful for the good that was gained and grateful for the evil avoided; to look ahead with hope and desires, to be firm and resolute in the tasks set ahead, I fear I see nothing but a blank sheet.

I do have wishes, dreams, and fears like everyone else. Yet, there is this sense of detachment from everything, almost as if the year has not yet ended, and the new one not yet begun. It is like a beginning you arrive at once more and cannot recognise. I have many resolutions, but I lack resolve for them all.

I feel like one of those clashing cymbals with a hollow sound. I need to find my way back to the heart of God.
