After the Curtain
After the Curtain
...what will you do?
Do you stumble
into the New Year,
like a runner falling
across the finish line?
Or do you burst forth,
shooting out of the gate,
like a thoroughbred horse
at Churchill Downs?
Every year ends
with new beginnings,
but also begins
with old endings.
For some it's a time
to organize and reorder,
and maybe do something novel.
For others it's a time
to downsize and liquidate,
and maybe let go completely.
Write it on your heart that every day
is the best day in the year.
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
