Bravely

For me, there's still nothing like that silent vigil, followed by midnight song in the chapel while tower bells rang out bravely over the dark, snowed-on countryside.  However, celebratory sound and a quiet reach for wisdom still seem essential rituals for ending an old year and beginning a new one.  Here today, gone tomorrow -or maybe the opposite?  Gone today and here tomorrow could make sense, but perhaps it doesn't matter.  Either way, I know  it's okay to not know.
