Happy New Year 2022. As I contemplated ideas to start this year with a fresh uncluttered perspective, I recalled the life changing experience of my walking the Camino de Santiago, so I looked through my books and found a couple of poems I wrote that capture the opportunity this New Year offers. I also received a photo from an old friend of the new snowfall around his home in Maine, which led to the final poem.
