Wishing 2009

Posted by matt on 1 January 2009

Tho’ much is taken, much abides; and tho’
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

–from Tennyson’s Ulysses

BEST WISHES FOR STRENGTH & STRIVING IN 2009!
