Continuous Return
The years overlap
as they remind us
that all of this
is only a moment,
our perspective changing
with each sunset
/sunrise, each leaf opening
/falling, each point of light
in the infinite star-filled sky
reminding us of the possibilities
behind and before us,
yet contained in the moment,
as one year passes
and another begins.
Kerfe Roig often has a way of sending my mind in unexpected directions,
as she has done with her pantoum, January 2022: into the darkness.

Part of the belief system of philosophical daoism is that each moment is a unique convergence of the 10,000 things. Your poem expresses it well. Now I need to go read Kerfe’s poem 🙂

Really like this take on YE/NY – “crossing a line” is human manipulation of ongoing flow, serving a purpose I suppose, but good to open our eyes to the bigger view!

Agreed. Turning a page is not the same as closing a book.
Thanks, Jazz.
