They say a new year
is a clean slate,
a blank book.
But how can you
forget
your past
and start all over again?
A new bit of slate,
maybe,
another handful of pages
crammed into the book,
but not a total fresh start.
You add on,
you grow,
you revise and try again.
Experiences and background shape us.
I didn't start on
page 1
on
January 1st.
I started on about
page 8,866
or so.
