Winter

May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and madness.  I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks your 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.

~ Neil Gaiman

Forever Young

(Forever young)

May god bless and keep you always 

May your wishes all come true

May you always do for others 

And let others do for you..

May you build a ladder

To the stars

And climb on every rung

And may you stay..

Forever Young.

Mindfulness is simply being aware of what is happening right now without wishing it were different; enjoying the pleasant without holding on when it changes (which it will); being with the unpleasant without fearing it will always be this way (which it won't).

One never knows how these things may turn out - and as they say,  be careful what you wish for, because you may get it. One of the problems when people ask for miracles is that they never know what the miracle they ask for ultimately involves. That is why magicians and genies always grant three wishes, so that after the first two you always use the third one to get back to where you began.

~ Alan Watts
