2017 can you believe it? 2017 didn’t come in like a lion or a lamb, 2017 came in on a cold, rainy night, filled with wind and sorrow. At least that is how it felt. I watched the stars, I saw the clouds, I lost the stars and I felt the chill enter the land.
I want 2017 to be better, but my doubts are myriad and unceasing. I want the start of another revolution around the sun in an empty space to have meaning, but I lack conviction. I want to reach out and say we and can be better, but I know better.
Goodbye 2016, the year that offered hope, redemption and perhaps a chance to leap forward, instead we stumbles, fell short and retreated. You took a a few of my heros, I said goodbye to friends, and I chose to step away from people I could no longer in good conscious be around.
2016 I travelled, I ate and I lived, I voted, I hoped and I existed.
