Last year’s ‘next year’ now is ‘this year’,
yesterday’s become today,
flowing on from past to present,
passing without pause or stay:
hours, days and weeks divide
months and years that onward slide –
markers on the clock of living,
intervals for thought and giving.

[IP: Next Year]

Oh no stop Rhiannon, put on the brakes, everything is moving too fast, I can't keep up. Thinking and giving, that will slow everything down and introduce some calm. Wise words.

! Yes, Jane, I felt the sense of constant moving on, but that the present is made up of time we can use generously and wisely, and get satisfaction, calmness and joy from it, as you say – no 'rush' ! regards, Rhiannon
