How tweetingly a year goes by!
Friday, December 21st, 2012
Once again, the year has nearly ended. The Romans knew just which god to use as a bracket between one year’s end an another’s beginning. They chose Janus (whom January is named after) to segue across calendar years. He was the perfect choice because he had two faces so that whenever he peered forward, he would always maintain perspective with what lay behind him.
Like Janus did, I like taking a retrospective look at ideas from the closing months of 2012. My memory’s not very reliable, but thankfully my twitter account keeps hold of the random conversations & comments I’ve had and that I’ve culled for this post. So in the spirit of looking ahead to 2013, here’s one last glimpse back.
