Why would this come to me on the last day of the year? From a favorite writer? And just when I’m feeling that nice artificial hope of a giant lit ball dropping on a tall metal pole?
From Wendell Berry “No, No, There Is No Going Back” “No, no, there is no going back. Less and less you are that possibility you were. More and more you have become those lives and deaths that have belonged to you. You have become a sort of grave containing much that was and is no more in time, beloved then, now, and always. And so you have become a sort of tree standing over a grave. Now more than ever you can be generous toward each day that comes, young, to disappear forever, and yet remain unaging in the mind. Every day you have less reason not to give yourself away.”

Also fascinating to see fashions and contestants change over the years.
