To all those who feel disquieted, disconnected, uncertain or less hopeful this New Year’s Day 2026, just a message to say that you are not alone in these feelings, they are comprehensible and are respected here.

I’m thankful for this place where so many diverse and fascinating people can just be. I share good wishes for the new year ahead.

Here’s an earlier setting of the New Year’s Swallow’s carol in an English translation of the original Ukrainian as well as the Ukrainian.
