“For last year's words

 belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning."

T.S. Eliot

"Any new beginning

 is forged from 

the shards of the past,

 not from the

 abandonment of the past."

Juniper

"The Juniper tree's name is derived

 from the Latin word juniperus.

 In Latin, juniperus is a combination

 of the word junio, which means young,

 and parere, to produce,

 hence youth producing,

 or evergreen."
