Time Isn't After Us

Happy New Year! I know, I know, it’s a week late. But I’d at least like to acknowledge that the New Year is truly something that we all share.

There’s a mixed metaphor here, I’m sure, and this is my interpretation: from a shared common idea, our creativity is limitless in finding ways to celebrate. Much as David Byrne notes that time is constant with no one controlling it, our agency is what allows us to take a moment to reflect on how we got here and where we’re going.
