Sitting On The Cusp Of A Year

We conclude this worship year, as is our tradition, with a morning assembly featuring all of us, everyone who would like to share a reading, song, poem, or a story.  Being at the cusp concluding the first decade of the century and launching into the second one, what thought do you bring to this transition?  Bring whatever you wish to share, with the only guideline being one of time.  Six to seven minutes for each speaker allows more opportunities to listen to what others have brought.
