In the dark, the sound of fireworks echos through the neighborhood shakes the windows, scares the dog, bothers the cat. This year comes to an end with the same old noises: guns, pots, pans, whistles, boom boxes, car stereos, horns, yells and cheers. In my mind, the sounds are similar, echoing from the past to now, shaking confidence, scaring the heart, bothering the mind. The year comes to an end with the same questions and doubts, fears, rejections, dismissals, cold shoulders, snubs, curses and blames. The sounds are only a distraction, echoing and drawing attention from what is real, and true, and honest. The year comes to an end with new possibilities for joy, peace, health, wealth friendship, education fun, laughter and love. Everything from here is a choice. Nothing is written. It is all possible. You can make it so. Happy New Year...
Cheers!
