Within a few hours the new year breaks. The scale of year, day, or any kind of time frame, are always regular and even. It doesn't go like you have 24 hours a day and 36 hours the next day. The time frame is like a beat and rhythm in dance music. The first thing you notice in those beats are "kick and snare", and if you take them in dancing it will greatly fit. But recently I learned from my dance teacher that dance is not about catching the beat, because the music is flowing all the time without being stopped by the beats. You count like "1, 2, 3 and 4..." but actually the sounds flows between 1 and 2, 2 and 3.
We get up and make a start of a day, and close the day when we go to sleep. Hours by hours, day by day, we tend to live such fragmented time of life. We assign our time along with our task, instead of assigning task according to our available time. But time is not fragmented nor segmentalized. The beats identify the music and the others compose the tune.
Tomorrow is Sunday and the first day of the new year 2017. We will kick off it and beat out the rhythm of it, and it's okay --- because this is a start of a fresh tune.
