New beginnings

As the early days of this new year are still proceeding one by one, some of us are returning today to the regular routine of work, but others still have a few scant hours to wait before the torrent of life comes crashing in.  These are precious moments, time for us to give thanks for that which has been, even as we look forward to what might come to pass in the months ahead.

If there be traditions surrounding this new beginning, then music must indeed be part of them, as are familiar phrases which bid farewell to the old and greet the new.

For all that has been, in your life and mine, let us give thanks;
For all that is, let us live it honestly and with integrity;
For all that will be, let us say yes with conviction.
