When I hope for and wish others and myself a happy new year, I ask not frivolously, and not traditionally. In my wishing you a happy new year, I ask for you to look beyond trivial matters. Your new year, like mine is what we allow or disallow. When we ask for small things such as financial betterment, weight loss, or anything relating to this physical world, that, at best, is what we get.
So, I ask that we each receive and accept what we truly need, not materially, but soulfully. I ask that you are given the gift of knowing the true matters of things. I ask that you allow yourselves to receive and accept these true matters. Now, they may not appear to be what you want, but what I ask for, is everything beyond what you think you want or need. This may include the suffering of letting go of the old and welcoming everything new. Believe me, this is harder than most can imagine. For most of us, we want what comforts us, not what betters us.
May you be better this year than you have ever been. May you see beyond the edicts and whims of man. May you feel the touch of God, and may you embrace that touch and all the wisdom and grace imparted. You are wondrous beyond imagination, but it is you, who must allow everything that minimizes you to fall away. It is you who must accept that you are the miraculous image you are, and, you must live everything that image allows you to be.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
(Let go of all that is old, old thinking, old habits, old fears, for all is well.)
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and days of auld lang syne?
(Yes, let go of the old, the past, for now is all there is. Live now, for in this moment and this moment only, life is, you are. God, is.)
May you bless yourself with all that God has given. May you walk away from all that holds you comfortably where you are.
