We welcomed the New Year with powerful -15F wind whistling against the frosty windows in Portland this year. It almost felt like the wind was bringing the change and transformation that I know is coming in 2009. As I sat meditating on all the intentions and prayers that I had written for the coming year, I waited for the clock to strike 12 and the church bells to chime, but nothing came. I finally looked at my clock when I though, “it must be midnight by now.” It was 12:01AM. I felt magic in the first minute of the new year; a good sign. It was so cold today that I only went out once. While I was out I walked to the ocean and firmly stood against the wind along the shoreline. I wrote my prayers on little pieces of pink paper and awkwardly let them slip from my icy fingers into the ocean, into the universe. I was thinking of you and sending my love.

This is, without a doubt, the most hopeful thing I have read/heard since the beginning of 2009. <3.
