L'année en revue

In his dream-state, he found himself surrounded by the pieces of his tragedy.  And in a dramatic, yet silent, outburst, he cried and seethed and beseeched resolution.  He traversed the rocky path by the trees all through the night, the stars obscured by the leaves and the fog.  He was weak and weary, he had been traveling for great distances and the obstacles along the path had not been kind to him.

Forgive me, my friend, for I have done wrong.  I let myself be held by someone who I did not love and now I sit before you in sin.

But as he collapsed upon the rock in the clearing, a ray of moonlight burst through the clouds.  Though the others may have estranged and forsaken him, he was suddenly inundated by a renewed sense of purpose that washed over him.  And he whispered to the ears of a new world, "Behold, for I have been transfigured."

Un jour

For the New Year, I aim to branch out in all areas of life, and consequently to grow more cultured as an insightful thinker.  I wish to nurture and maintain professional relationships with everyone I meet.  And I hope to win first prize in a competition, and consistently deliver when called upon in performance.

And may the time which I am given not be wasted.  I hope never to become anyone's magic 8-ball, or to spend time being boring or around individuals who are.
