Seeking Clarity and a Happy New Year

 
Here I am.  One day before the New Year.  One day before I walk over the thresh hold into 2013. I have thought about my word for for 2013.  What do I want to concentrate in the year of the Snake? 

2012 Word
  
For 2012, I chose the word simplicity.  Paring things down to simple forms.  Simple daily rituals.  Uncluttered.  Simplicity is more complicated than the word seems.  It has greater depth than what first appears. Here I am as I said at first, still with no word passed on from simplicity.  Is it because simplicity is covering up my word? Or is it clearly there right before me? 

across the way behind the fog are the Santa Cruz mountains, over which beats the Pacific

From simplicity comes clarity. Clarity. Where did that come from?  I think that's it.  What I have looked for all along.......Clarity...

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

*In the meanwhile, I updated my two other blogs: knit 1, clay 2 and 1 Simply Home. Wanted to start the New Year with something new on all three blogs. If you knit, I have free patterns.....got to keep those hands busy and warm!
