Born Today?

Your Year of the Open Hand. This is the year you finally stop wrestling what cannot be won, and discover that the thing you release is exactly what comes back better. There is a knack you have always carried, a water-finding way of settling into a room and helping whoever is talking to you hear themselves more clearly. In April, a long-knotted friendship loosens on its own terms, and both of you breathe easier for it. By July, a project you nearly forced into the wrong shape finds the right one simply because you let it sit. The year rewards the open hand more reliably than the clenched one. You always knew the difference between letting go and giving up. This is the year the rest of the world catches on.
