More Light …

At midnight the wind was biting and the Lakeland sky black. Then there arose within a murmuring assembly an inner warmth and childlike delight in darkness illuminated by moments, flares, sparks of light, loudly announcing their presence. Until the wind blew over each, ‘and it was gone.’

May all of life beneath the wide firmament be vivified in 2026 by such a warmth, such delight, and innumerable moments of clarifying light. Moments both come and go, ever so fleetingly – and it’s in their very transience that each of us grows.

May we gently use the gift of words, then – in every language under the sun – to tell of such moments, and to learn from, and re-member them. May we humans become ever more the poets, the co-creators, of well-lived lives, for all life

We Are All Born Intuitive

Let’s imagine a world where we are born pure and innocent. A world where we are open to anything and everything. A world that is an adventure of discovery from the moment of waking to the moment of sleeping. This world is our world, the only difference is our age – we are babies. For us, everything is possible and the only limitations are those set by those around us, for our imagination is free and wild and we go wherever it takes us. As babies we are naturally telepathic, because we are communicating with life through our senses. How many times have you noticed a baby look wide-mouthed and smiling at a dog walking by wagging his tail? The baby can feel the dog’s happiness. If we smile at a baby, she smiles back. If we are upset, she looks concerned. If we are angry and shout, she cries. We don’t need to tell her verbally how we are feeling; she is using her senses to receive this information. We continue to use all our senses to understand our interactions until around about the age of seven. Animals continue to use their senses for non-verbal communication all their life.

When you just know from the first lines that you are going to be changed by a new year book recommendation … (I have a hunch that David Kanigan and Wally are ahead of me on this one!)
