When I think of the year ending and the new year beginning, I think about people. I see them riding on the subway; I see tears too cold to fall out of eyes; I see mothers holding their children’s hands; I see a man running late for his bus; I see hunger; I see families huddling together, keeping each other warm. I see life. I hear babies cackle and cry. Lovers hold hands. Others couldn’t be more oblivious. You want to know what I wish for the New Year? It’s simple. I want everyone to find that place inside of inside of them that belongs to no other. I want them to connect or reconnect with the power inside of them. I want them to find peace within.
Happy New “Zing!” Year. We look forward to seeing you often.
