Take a moment now to breathe in the Holy Present.

We stand here at the threshold of a new year. The past is fading behind, and the future is a bright light just ahead. Let us gently and gratefully release the year gone by.

Take another moment now to breathe in the Holy Present.

Bless it all: the good and the bad, the pain and the joy, the teachers and the lessons learned. It is over now and only love remains.

Take another moment now to breathe in the Holy Present.

Amen. Om
