Excerpt from An Original Year
It veers from the north to the south, but soon comes back to the north again. It is always blowing out of one of the same old quarters. It travels everlastingly round the same old circle.
The rivers flow into the sea. All of them do this, they keep doing it all the time but what does it amount to? The sea is never full. The sea sends back the water to the hills, and the water fiows to the sea again. The ancients supposed that the sea found its way back through subterranean channels, bubbling up in springs and descending in rivers to the sea again. We know that the sea goes into the clouds, falls upon hill and plain, and then runs to the ocean-bed again. But it is the same old circuit, whether you view it as an ancient or a modern.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the concept of finding joy and rejuvenation in the midst of a repetitive and seemingly unfulfilling world. The author, influenced by the biblical text of Ecclesiastes, explores the idea that while life's circumstances may appear monotonous, it is possible to break free from this perception and create a year that is truly original. By examining the teachings of Jesus, the book unveils how shifting perspectives, adding elements of joy or inspiration, and introducing passion can transform our outlook and experiences. Through these insights, the author encourages readers to embrace a mindset of continual renewal, enabling them to experience the wonder and beauty hidden within the familiar rhythms of life.
