Bash the resolutions, or bash the New Year,
A beginning is exciting, fills with hope, my dear.
The skeptics may forewarn, that by Feb-end it'll all fizzle,
Even if on the back burner, let your dreams simmer and sizzle.
You need a periodic checkpoint, however contrived and artificial,
Where you can assess anew, what's possible, what can be made real.
What you have already accomplished, what still awaits to be born,
What's sustaining and enduring, and what's a passing storm.
What breathes life as an intention, can with actions, and support, snowball,
If you want the glory of the Hero's Journey, you have to respond to the call.
If you hesitate, give heed to cynics, you'll never start on that Quest,
You may not become a public Fool, but will be crowned 'also ran' at best.
Some make it about goals, new habits, or fresh systems in place,
To me, a New Year is about New Quests, and renewed faith in God's grace.
