so many opportunities we have to start over..
leonard cohen's song ~ anthem ~
sings it right ..
The birds they sang
at the break of day ..
Start again -
I heard them say ..
Don't dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
there is the celtic new year..
jewish new year,
western world new year,
chinese new year,
tibetan new year !
is there a congo new year?
the tibetan new year is called losar..
the traditional greeting is :
tashi delek!
as the days arrive leading up to losar
there is much to do..
gutor..is a time to avert the negativity
of the olde year..
then there is house cleaning day..
rugs are aired, floors are swept and polished,
spoons are oiled..windows shined..
olde 1/2 burnt candles tossed,
olde medicines, spices & foods..
letters from long ago and far away ~
these are the ways we begin again..
at the break of day..
2014 or 2141 (tibetan) is the year of the wood horse..
galloping right out from under us!
palms together! tashi delek!
may your pure prayers be bright -
riding in the saddle
of the wood horse to fruition ~
