One chapter closed. Another begins.

2012 comes to a close.

For some, quite a year, for others, not so much.

This chapter is now over.

Whatever choices we have made are irrevocably locked with it. No more can we return to this past than the animal go against its nature. The new year stands ahead. It is full of opportunities, decisions and bad endings. It remains to be seen, how it will come to pass.

For now, let us rejoice in this moment and celebrate Life and Rebirth and lose ourselves in the inexorable cycle so deeply ingrained in western society.
