January 4th marks not only a destination (the earth closest to sun), but a continuing event: starting-over.
This great celestial event is also a time of much social busy-ness, with a multitude of celebrations of various sorts so it is a challenge to find the time to be still, and quiet, in solitude, to focus and prepare to create our destiny in the year ahead.
Let us choose wisely...
