January 1, 2009 - New Year’s Day
New Year’s Resolution
Take things gently. Look for the little good each day as if life were going to last a hundred years.
William James
Take things gently.
Live softly on the earth,
leaving as little footprint as possible.
Breathe the moist, wintry air.
Notice how each green pine needle
is clear in the cold, cold morning.
Read poems. Hum a tune.
Write down your dreams.
Take things gently and life will last
as for a hundred years.
Mantra for a New Year: Gently. Softly.
Kay McMullen, SNDdeN
