The spirit plays even when I don’t talk about it.  Family, kids, holidays, presents, solstice celebrations and vacation distract us from the normal routine.  And rightly so. 

Like “New Year’s Day”.  As if this really is the first day of a year.  It is an arbitrary date set by an ancient government.  But I appreciate the chance for reflection.  What will this year bring?  Here is a day that I can set an intention to hold throughout the year.  An opportunity to re-choose my direction, purpose, attitude and method of playing.

Human adventure and another cycle of the sun.  Blessed be.
