I don't know about you, but I think I'm mainly done with making resolutions for the New Year. Instead, I'm trying to contemplate those things in which I believe, and how I wish to proceed. I want to cultivate those conditions that make me a better human, a better writer.

And last, but not least, the tagline for this blog which I've adapted from a quotation from Theodore Roethke and which I mentioned in the inaugural post.

Wishing you all a happy New Year, filled with many transactions with beauty.
