Tell me, have you found the Yellow Sign? Catholic Hobbit, husband, (grand)father, author, writer, editor, amateur monk, pilgrim, liturgy geek, medievalist, gamer. Immigrant. Not necessarily in that order. I like pie. https://linktr.ee/thomryng

Art Nouveau print with a young maiden kissing the forehead of an old man in a throne with a crown on his lap. The text says:
The old year is worn and tired.
Time now to kiss it goodbye.
Take with you its wisdom - the authority
and the power of all you have learned.
Remember the past year with love,
but let go of its despair.
Live the year that lies ahead
with fresh energy and hope.
Be strong, have courage,
it is time now for something new.
