This was the sky midday – the iPhone took a turning-to-blue sky, with sun showing through rapidly moving clouds, and transformed it into this dramatic image.

Last day of the year.

“There are years that ask questions, and years that answer.”
– Zora Neale Thurston

2007 was a year that asked questions. I’m committed to patiently wait, as Rilke advises, until I live my way into the answers. A certain restlessness of spirit has been a part of this year for me – a sense that there is much within myself that I still need to discover and understand. While I am made anxious by this restlessness, I’m sure it’s better than feeling that all is known, complete, and certain. I have a definite sense that I have not yet hit my stride professionally; I suspect now that I may be in the wrong field altogether. We’ll see how this unfolds in 2008. While my inch-deep-mile-wide personality may never find a single thing it’s truly passionate about, I hope I can discover some small set of things that I am honestly engaged and challenged by. I’ve been coasting, I think, for far too long.

So – onward! I look forward to 2008 and all of the unknown developments, lessons, and adventures that are held in its days.
