For most people, 2020 has been a stressful year of frustration, disappointment, fear and anxiety. It is not surprising that we look forward to welcoming in 2021. Join me on Narrowboat 506812 as we reflect on the significance of new beginnings (no matter how arbitrary), and the importance of having opportunities to re-evaluate and reset our lives.
Journal entry:
“New Year’s Eve, 31st December Thursday.
Another frosty and icy start. This morning, in the dark as I got off the boat, I heard the ice sing.
The dawn is softened and blurred by fog. Smudged and half-formed, it feels as if I am walking through a drawing that someone has tried to rub out with an eraser.
The cronking call of two distant ravens snuggle into the muffled sky.”
Episode Information
May your coming year be filled with summer light and puddles to jump. The warm hum of bees and the sting of frost. Of courage and companionship. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
