Although the countdown is over, the sentiments from Hillary DePiano’s one act play, New Year’s Thieve, continue to hold true. May we all enjoy the magic of this moment as we begin this New Year together.

“MOTHER TIME: Life goes by so very fast, my dears, and taking the time to reflect, even once a year, slows things down. We zoom past so many seconds, minutes, hours, killing them with the frantic way we live that it’s important we take at least this one collective sigh and stop, take stock, and acknowledge our place in time before diving back into the melee. Midnight on New Year’s Eve is a unique kind of magic where, just for a moment, the past and the future exist at once in the present. Whether we’re aware of it or not, as we countdown together to it, we’re sharing the burden of our history and committing to the promise of tomorrow.”

Wishing you all a healthy and happy New Year filled with Golden moments.
