The “new year” is a point in time that brings one to reflection, a turning point of at once casting back and looking forward. From where I stand, at this GPS point in Ohio, it is also a geographic moving from darkness toward the light. In a modern age we forget how much we are a part of the rhythms of earth and sky, a quantum particle spinning in an indefinable universe. And so new year reflections are all about perspective, not that we are infinitessimally small or insignificant, but rather that we are seamlessly a part of something so vast it can exist only in God’s imagination. From this perspective, surely all things are possible.
