Peering Ahead on Tiptoes

 

“And now let us welcome the new year, full of things that have never been.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

 

Rilke’s simple welcome of the new year paints, for me, the image of a child standing on tiptoes at a window, peering out expectantly, looking for possibilities, good surprises, and delightful discoveries. May all this and more be yours in this new year. And may we all continue to nurture peace, cultivate kindness, and carry the calm deep within us.

Happy New Year!
