FAREWELL, OLD YEAR, AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NEW YEAR !
The earth moves along a helical path as it makes its seemingly elliptical orbit round the sun that itself surges ahead while orbiting the galactic core. It is a curvilinear path for the earth that never retraces its steps ever but gives the impression that it does so. The sequential change of seasons is all a part of this helical scheme of things and the movement of the year is the cyclical movement of this helix as well. It is in this context that we must view the passage of the year 2018 and the advent of the next one that is knocking on the door, 2019. Farewell, Old Year, and happy birthday, New Year !
