Have you ever gone out and taken a walk on New Year’s Day? Not because of a nascent resolution to exercise more, but rather because it feels like the right thing to do at that time? You’ll find that the air is crisper. Everything is nearly silent, but you can swear that there’s a far-off rumbling sound in the distance. Your skin tingles, not with cold, but with an eager anticipation for… something. In that moment, you can feel connected to the potential energy of the world.
This might be a sense more closely associated with the spring (after all, things are only going to get colder over the next few months), but this time is like the backpedal before a running start that leads to an explosion of activity.
ON THE COVER: t’s a new year and time for new resolutions! Avoid the fads and make a real change in your diet and in your life. Start your journey with Liz Read’s article on page 18. Make this New Year a delicious one!
