A New Chapter—The Season of Light

What the caterpillar calls the end—the rest of the world calls a butterfly.”                             - Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher, 6th-Century BC

Every once in a while The Book of Life needs to skip a chapter, learn from its mistakes, and move on…….2020 was one of those chapters. 

As Charles Dickens wrote in his 1859 introduction to A Tale of Two Cities, a saga of the French Revolution,  It was the worst of times, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of darkness, it was the winter of despair.”

Words that framed 2020 need to be struck from our lexicon—excised from history—Covid-19, Pandemic, Autocratic Rule, Deceit, Hubris, Hypocrisy, Economic Despair, Racial Injustice, Inequality, Voter Suppression, Hurricanes, Fires, Floods.

It’s time to write a new chapter—new words—new paragraphs—a new beginning. As 2021 unfolds we can once again look to Dickens for how to begin with the hope that we are entering “the age of wisdom, the epoch of belief, the season of light."

Happy Holidays and Cheers for 2021……
