Here is a New Year poem by Paramahansa Yogananda. I think I may have to read it every day to remind myself of how I want to live... The Garden of the New Year by Paramahansa Yogananda The echoes of last year, its sorrow and laughter, Have died away. The song-voice of the New Year--encouraging, hope-imparting-- Is chanting: Refashion life ideally! Abandon the weeds of old worries. From the forsaken garden of the past Garner only seeds of joys and achievements, Hopes, good actions and thoughts, all noble desires. Sow in the fresh soil of each new day Those valiant seeds; water and tend them Until your life is fragrant With rare flowering qualities. The New Year whispers: Awaken your habit-dulled spirit To zestful new effort. Rest not till th eternal freedom is won And ever pursuing karma outwitted! With joy-enlivened, unendingly united mind Let us all dance forward, hand in hand, To reach the Halcyon Home From whence we wander no more.
