Well, 2018 hurtles to a close.
"Another one down, another one down, another one bites the dust"
I think no matter where anyone is situated on the carousel of life; to the left, to the right, at the top, at the bottom, this has been a hell of a year.
For me personally it has been punctuated by some lovely events - a trip to Israel, a trip to Montreal and Quebec City where I was graciously hosted by family members I had not previously met. So interesting, we are born in different countries, at different times, but I experienced the same warmth and ease as I do with family I have known all my life.
I think of the word family, and all that it means really and truly, deep down in our marrow. For me it conjures up feelings of warmth, and caring, a shared 'something' that surpasses time and space. Invisible silken threads
- fine filaments, which float and connect to us, and tie us together.
And another trip, to Ireland, a country I have always wanted to visit, for some unknown reason. It is nowhere in my DNA as far as I know. It was a really lovely, interesting, fun trip.
A beloved aunt passed away - and although it is, of course, sad, it was also a good end to a good life. A blessing, and a leavetaking.
I have not written much this year, but I have painted. Indeed, I shall try and post some of my paintings. In fact, I shall endeavour to post some pictures from this year. (in due time)
So, to one and all, here's to a return to the light.
Love and blessings
