Look up resolution. I have no resolutions. I do not wish to reduce anything to its simpler form or solve anything or even determine or deliberate anything.

Nor do I have any lists. In fact, I haven’t even formed any in my head.

What about expectations? Do I have any of those? Interestingly enough, a synonym of “resolution” is “courage.” Do I avoid resolutions because I am afraid? Because I expect something of myself? This may be true.

I do have ideas and projects and goals. But it is not the new year that bears these things. I bear these things — no matter what day or what month or what year it is. Some of these are immediately evident and some are not. Some will wait to be revealed and some will…resolve. Of this I am not afraid. Of the outcome…?
