Happy New Year 2012 to family, friends and fans!
Here’s the opening verse of my favorite New Year’s poem, written by Minnie
Louise Harkins (1875-1957)

I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year
       ’Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’
And he replied,
       ’Go into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God
       That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way!’
