There is a crack in everything. That is how the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen
Your Year of the Necessary Opening. This is the year you become fluent in the art of letting something end so the good thing can finally arrive, and the difference between those two moments turns out to be smaller than you feared. A piece of work you've been shaping in near-silence finds its audience by spring, and the quiet pride you've carried in it becomes something you no longer have to keep private. Where something closes in the early months, an opening appears almost immediately after, the kind that wouldn't have fit if the old door were still in the way. Someone close notices how you move through change without flinching, and they say so, and they mean it. The crack you've been tending is exactly where this year walks in.
