DESCRIPTION
We have experienced so much fear and horror in the past year that it is only natural to hope that a New Year will resolve everything and set us free. But it is only a day on a calendar after all.

New Year’s day
This New Self is a shining childLucid serene and calmNourished by music and starlightIt knows no harm
Small birds feeding silentlyAre softened by gentle rainThat cleanses the New Year of the OldRinsing away the pain
This quiet inaugurationOf something already thereGives us a new beginningA new release from fear
We raise our glasses hopefullyWith the words we always sayWilling ourselves to ignore the factThat it’s only another day
