“Life is amazing. And then it's awful. And then it's amazing again. And in between the amazing and the awful, it's ordinary and mundane and routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, and relax and exhale during the ordinary. That's just living heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.”
L.R. Knost

It's madness
to hate all roses
because you got scratched with one thorn,

to give up all dreams
because one of them didn't come true,

to give up all attempts
because one of them failed.

It's folly to condemn all your friends
because one has betrayed you,

to no longer believe in love
just because someone was unfaithful
or didn't love you back,

to throw away all your chances to be happy
because something went wrong.

There will always be another opportunity,
another friend,
another love,
a new strength.

For every end,
there is always a new beginning.....

“And now here is my secret,
a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart
that one can see rightly;
what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - The Little Prince, 1943.

May the New Year Be Kind to You

May the new year be kind to you.
May it unfold gently,
with moments of warmth that find you when you least anticipate them
and with simple lasting joys that deepen with time.

May there be peace in the ordinary days,
light in the heavier ones,
and kindness, given and received, woven through it all.

May you feel supported when you are tired,
hopeful when the road feels uncertain,
and grateful for the quiet blessings that often go unnoticed.

May what you carry become lighter,
what you seek come closer,
and what you love continue to grow.

And may this new year meet you with grace,
offering space to heal,
room to dream,
and the reassurance that good things are still finding their way to you.

I love wintering!

“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on living the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. Winter is a time of withdrawing from the world, maximising scant resources, carrying out acts of brutal efficiency and vanishing from sight; but that’s where the transformation occurs. Winter is not the death of the life cycle, but its crucible.”
Katherine May - Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times, 2020.

Philip Vinton Clayton - Christmas in the Wood, 1917.
