I am welling over this New Year’s Eve day, full of feelings that are as inarticulate as they are powerful. I feel skinless and sad and a little bit buffeted by all the things in my heart. Time is passing and I am still not able to live in it the way I wish I could. I hope I will be able to put into words all the things I am thinking about, but for now I can muster only two quotations that echo today:

The longest journey is the journey inwards. – Dag Hammerskjold

We have it in our power to begin the world over again. – Thomas Paine
