welcoming 2009

The birth of 2009. A new beginning for me, my family and everyone around us. The indications are there. A lot of changes have occured over the past two months and most telling is the impact on me. My mother's death on Nov 16 was the final chapter of my personal development, having thrust me into the world to fend for the needs, of loved ones and progressively of more and more people in my growing circle.
What I do in the remaining years of my life will have to be a day-to-day charting of progressive movement with never a day to be wasted in idleness as my duties keep growing each other day.
For it is the prerogative of an artist to promptly deliver his contributions to society without fail after his material dues are fulfilled.
