I wait in the darkness of the cold winter for the sun of the dawn to break, to see the golden hue of the new year to shake loose from the dead weight of the past to gallop into the distant horizon - I wait! The old recedes and the new arrives inconspicuously - the pendulum of time swings between the old and the new creating waves of thoughts. Riding on those thoughts I pursue my dreams into the uncharted future - the new year is one more step into that destination and I whisper to myself "keep moving".
