It’s that moment again. The first week of a new year. Holidays are over, decorations came down. The list of things to be completed last year is done. The new year’s list begins. And inertia grips the mind and thoughts … the break in routine is done, but it wants to linger. 

I went for a walk this past Sunday morning. I’d been sitting, reading, early on and the sun slipped behind the cloud of fog. Up, up and out. Fast before the fog goes.

It was marvelous out there. The fog, while it lasted, was very chill: I wore hat and gloves, scarf under my jacket. The stillness and quiet of the sunday morning was broken only by the occasional other walker or occasional car cruising slowly along in the mists. 

A sense of distance, of quiet beginnings, of the moment’s pause before the plunge back into activities and doing again. A pause between tick and tock. It’s been three days and I still can’t shake off that brief walk in fog …

But I must. There is work to do, and events to plan, and the year must indeed begin.
