New Beginnings ....

What a way to start 2013, a walk in sunshine, beautiful blossom to look at, birds to listen to. Magic. No resolutions, but some New Year wishes for you - and me


Quotes from Neil Gaiman
author of short fiction, novels, comic books;
collaborated with Terry Pratchett on 'Good Omens', 1990;
wrote an episode of Dr Who, broadcast 14.5.2011.

"May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful, and don't forget to make some art - write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself."

"It's a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world.
So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave - let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we're faking them.

And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it's joy we're looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation.

So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy."
