Reflection.

The last day of 2007. Here on Kyrie's blog, we've all come to value time and its gifts much more now than perhaps we did last year. Many of you have made significant decisions based on information & ideas shared here. You have started projects; you have said what needs saying; you gave and forgave; you began a new path; you thought a new thought; you passed on this story; you let the seed of change settle into your bones, which may grow into a whole new & improved you in the coming years.

Last year at this time, no one saw this coming. No one expected the unexpected, which lends some trepidation at flipping the calendar page tomorrow. What's ahead? What will happen? What's to come?

For much of 2007, it's as if we've held our breath, hoping to prevent further wakes of heartache. Tomorrow, though, brings something new, something fresh, something that polishes the past in a way that we can take it wherever we go as proof that we're following His plan. The foundation has spent much time thinking & healing; 2008 promises to be a year of growth and, with enough help, financial development that will lead to the Kyrie Foundation Research Grant.

If He is with us, who can be against us?

And I said to the one who stood at the gate of the year, 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the Unknown.'

And he replied, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.'"
