New Year's Eve - Or Is It?
We Interrupt This Holiday To Bring You A Special Announcement:
The calendar is a useful fiction, meant to serve us - not to be our master. In fact, the earth is not exactly where it was 365.25 days ago, because the Sun is also falling through space as is the Sun's star cluster and the Milky Way itself. It is not December or January or 2012 or 2013. It is "Now": the only time you will ever have.
Two immediate practical consequences of this observation are: You don't ever have to put your life on hold, waiting for a date on a calendar to come around in order to have a new start. And, you're always only as old as you feel you are.
You may now return to your celebrations with the people you love who imagine there are weeks and months and years to pay attention to.
