“Looking at the calendar conveys a suggestion of a perpetual fresh start. The calendar is the symbol of death and resurrection, as well as the comprehendible order which rules the passing of time…Calendars offer the means of recording the stages of ones own inner or external development and of being able to celebrate at fixed times human intercourse either with the Gods, the universe or with the dead”).
From: The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols
As we begin a new year we are offered the opportunity of starting anew. Today is a day to evaluate old habits and beliefs that we have been carrying around with us from previous years or lifetimes. We can choose to view the turning of last year’s calendar to these new years as fresh start.
- What aspect of your habits, actions or beliefs do you now want to eliminate to make way for a resurrection of the new and the fresh?
- What milestones, objectives or intentions do you want to measure during the New Year?
- When you look back from 2010 and evaluate how 2009 went… what will you say your greatest accomplishments or joys were?
Have a wonderful New Year full of conscious living and joyful choices!!
