happy gregorian reset

welcome 2010, let’s get to work!

i’m not sure why we celebrate the new year close to the winter solstice. sure days are starting to get longer now, but it’s still the dead of winter. i can appreciate why some cultures celebrate the new year closer to the spring equinox. that is more a time of renewal to me.

in 2010 the tibetan new year coincides with valentine’s day, which will make being buddhist and in a relationship trickier. if you had to choose which activities to attend, would you do something with your sweetie or with your sangha? if i have a sweetie when that lunar event arrives, i think she would have all my attention honestly.

2009 was a year with many big transitions for me, but it still felt like it flew by; very rich year nonetheless. welcome 2010, you’re looking full of possibility.
