there's this moment in the documentary Grey Gardens when the focus of the film, Edie Beale, says: "It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present, you know what I mean?" and oh yes, edie. I definitely know what you mean. Maybe that (usually blurry) boundary is why I feel so excited and a little out-of-sorts this time of year. New Year's Day is a definitive line, demarcating then and now.

- new year, new desktop background!
- how to make resolutions that stick.
- is 'be more like Kate Middleton' a New Years resolution?
- or better yet ... I resolve to be more mindful like Mary Oliver: "It was what I was born for —
to look, to listen, to lose myself inside this soft world —"
Happy new year, Sam! Oh man... I loved the Kate Middleton link. Can that be my new year's resolution, too?
ReplyDeleteLinnea, yes! Maybe we can start a "be more like K. Middy" support group!
