New Year – Mindful Resolution

This David Whyte poem is spot on for new beginnings new years and New Year’s resolutions. Actually it is spot in if you don’t do New Year’s resolutions. To me it talks of drawing attention in to what is happening now that n order to make changes for the future. So less of a whole new start and more of here’s where I am.
However it is also honest enough to say this change stuff is scary

“Start close in,
don’t take
the second step
or the third,
start with the first
thing
close in,
the step
you don’t want to take.”
