The essence of every new day

It feels a bit like pressing the restart button, this first day of January.

An opportunity for new beginnings.

It’s both a relief, and a little sad, to say farewell to another year, and also exciting to anticipate a new year. It captures the essence of every new day – to carry forward what we need, let go of what we don’t, and enter unchartered territory. Every day is an improvisation.

My favourite African proverbs captures my hope for us in 2013:

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”

How far can we go together in 2013?
