the opening and closing of various gates...

...and so another year ends, in sickness and in health...good fortunes to perfectly balance the bad...a year that canceled itself out, more or less...I let it go out quietly, hoping for a louder season, a much much brighter, louder season this next circling of the sun...sometimes we relish the quiet...but may we not go gently this time around...life being for the living and all of that...Happy Janus' Day...
