I believe we're coming to a point as a species of humanity where
what we don't know is becoming more and more important
than what we do know.

Remember,
what's ahead of us in 2013
shall largely depend
on what we shall be willing to leave behind
in 2012.
This - in turn - shall depend
on the completeness of our remembrances
as a nation;
on how much of ourselves
we have managed to gather up
into the present - together this time -
as we cross the line of today
into tomorrow.

Are we ready to cross over?
