I take these photos in a moment
but then spend weeks wondering
which order to publish them in.
Right to left? Left to right?
It is a good metaphor for my year.
I have alternated between
looking back and looking forward,
between a painful sense of loss
and anxious anticipation of the future.
I need to learn
to accept the present
but I have never been good
at standing still.
"Every horizon,
upon being reached,
reveals another
beckoning in the distance.
Always, I am on the threshold"

For Mr M -wv ovelundi. ||Having learnt from a crossword the oloroso can be spelt aloroso I can only assume we must hail Monday as being a great new start.
ReplyDeleteUsually I am like you, uncertain whether I am happy or sad when a year leavs us but this year I am definitely looking forward to putting 2011 behind.
ReplyDeleteAnd not look back either.
Happy New Year!
I hope that you will be cheered by the New Year. Greetings to the family M!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a New Year full of Good and Delicious things!
ReplyDeleteLook forward - there is no tangible past to grasp. Memories are sweet but fleeting. So maybe that is an argument for the here and now.
ReplyDeletemay 2012 bring you what you need x
