The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference.
Elie Wiesel
Your Year of the Early Arrival. You have been standing in rooms where the conversation catches up to you, and this is the year it finally does, loudly and with applause. A talk in early spring reshuffles everything you thought you already knew about a subject you were certain on, and the reshuffling feels wonderful, like finding out you were right about the interesting part and wrong about the boring part. Someone you barely know says the sentence that moves the wall, and suddenly the room you have been living in is twice the size. By autumn, an idea you floated a long time ago is the idea people are now fighting over in the best way. Let them. You seeded it. The year rewards everyone who stayed engaged when engagement was the harder choice.
