And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: ?Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown?. And he replied: ?Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.?
It is possible to make each year bring with it a lasting gift to add to the fullness of experience to be treasured up savored and remembered. They need not be startling these gifts of the years; they may be things that lie within the reach of all.
There is always next year.
