A small audience gathers on a snowy winter's evening. Rocketed from the village below them, fireworks light up the night sky. It is New Year's Eve, and the raucous celebration that started just a moment ago will extend far beyond the passing midnight hour. As I get older, I have learned to fully appreciate each passing year for all that it gave me and to look forward to the next one coming fora the opportunity it unfolds. I wish each of you that sense of hopeful emergence for every day of your life and want you to always enjoy the Light of a New Year. Thank you for sharing my adventure in art.
