Another portal



Once again, we are crossing another gateway.

We are leaving the year 2010, and the first decade of the new millennium, behind.
A new year beckons us, and at the entrance,
Janus is standing guard.

He is facing the past, and he is facing the future.

To understand the future better, we look to the past too,
and also, in memory, to remember what we have lost or left behind.

But may we look back, not too often, causing us to stumble.



May the year 2011 hold many new experiences,
and may you be able to face them all with enthusiasm.
 I WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Changing the world into miniature...
One thing at a time.

Well said , Lize :):) I found this poem that I thought you may like :

PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE
by Jay O'Toole

The Past, the Present, and What Comes,
have fans of each their own,
For those who live in other times,
seem odd near what is known!

The past seems great to those who love,
the simple, fresh-air life,
The present trudges and it moves,
through joys and many strifes!

The future is the way that glows,
with Hope's potential grace,
It carries blessings that should grow...
we think, "A wondrous place!"

I've heard it said that "Future Shocks"
so much that human minds,
Pull back to cherish...daily "Box,"
and the left behind!

We see that terms of time are verbal,
when they are expressed,
"The Future's tense, the Present's stable,
The Past is Perfect and best!"

Yet backward looks will cause defeat,
for those who fail to see,
That Time will never call, "Retreat!"
Thus forward it will be!

Lize said...

Thus forward it will be.

Loved the poem Sans,
Thank you!

The new figures come as Mexico’s government moves ahead with plans for a slow, phased re-opening of certain parts of its economy in locations less affected by the virus.
