Time and Being

within 32 hours the year 2004 will end and a new, not necessarily new in its orthodox sense, year will begin. It is rather another year that invites us to attempt what we didn't or restore what we did, it is another opportunity to keep going the usual path or to deviate and determine what to do. 2004 was a year of great disappointments for me and at the same time a year of big success. Seems that the more years pass by, the vicissitudes of failure and success get sharper, higher and lower points. That's what Kundera points to in his Slowness.
