TASK 12
How does one wrap up a year’s worth of illuminating thought and practice? How to say goodbye to what has been and how to shift our gaze toward what is to come? My friends, that time is nigh: a time to reflect, a time to laugh, a time to cry, in other words, a time for everything under heaven. It is always bittersweet to traverse the threshold of the final chapter. And yet, it is our hope, no, our responsibility, to frame what has been, so that we can look ahead toward what will be. Hence, the vital nature of our task: you are hereby commended to construct a preface for the work of Collective Task. May God be with you!
