new year's re-solutions

Can we solve ourselves once again?
Become re-solute in our solutions?

We have hope in this 1/1/2010,
in this semi-arbitrary demarcation of time,
of the past dropping away and a beginning new and fresh.

All past sins of omission and commission,
all we failed to do and all we did we wish we didn't,
dropping away and a brand new child standing here.

A child looking to live a saner, more sanctified life,
looking to no longer do this and begin doing that,
looking for a re-solution of the problems of existence:

hatreds dissolved in love, angers replaced by understandings,
one's own separate soul opening to union with the Divine,
grit supplemented by grace.

Re-solution: opening as a clear solution,
as a free and loving heart.
