Pause a moment as 2012 passes into the New Year with Star of the Morning, one of several Himalayan panoramas by artist and mystic Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947). Consider, too, the verses of Chinese poet Li Po (701-762) and the beauty of solitude.

Nicholas Roerich, Star of the Morning, 1932, tempera on canvas, Nicholas Roerich Museum, New York City
ALONE LOOKING AT THE MOUNTAIN
All the birds have flown up and gone;
A lonely cloud floats leisurely by.
We never tire of looking at each other -
Only the mountain and I.
