The clock still ticks, however, and the journey continues into 2015 with my shiny mug and clean calendar not yet scribbled with new or unfinished business from 2014. The calendar is also a day planner that reiterates the well-worn phrase, "Life is a journey, not a destination." With that in mind, I plan to grab life by the handle, although what life will actually hand me is a mystery.
I am gladly turning the page on the previous year. The good things, always quietly there despite the challenges, were overshadowed by several tragic newsworthy events on a global scale. It is impossible not to anticipate a brighter year and hope that we are transitioning into a kinder, safer world.
Life can seem less fragmented when relaxing with a steaming hot drink. Conflict fills with calm and sometimes we experience the "oceanic existence" Deepak Chopra spoke about in Ageless Body, Timeless Mind when he said, “Reality is an ocean but we take it away in teacups.”

ReplyDeleteAgreed, dear Penelope, the news has been heartbreaking too many times to count, but your posts and wisdom have brought much beauty into the world, and I'm going to hold that thought as we make our way into 2015. I love the cup, the sweetness of a daughter who finds the PERFECT gift, and your decision to grab life by the handle. I'll be there as well, trying to follow suit over here in Yaletown :)
