Writings: Putting the ‘happy’ in the new year

These are days of miracle & wonder – this has been a year of change & transformation & transition & letting go for so many people around me.

I treasure that we have shared so much as we’ve walked together – and as everyone says “Happy New Year” tonight, I hope you know that the joy & happiness in your heart today is there for you to share tomorrow & through the new days ahead.

It’s not the New Year that will make you happy, but you who will bring happiness to these days we share.

Here’s a bit from Elliot:
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
~ T. S. Eliot.

Light & love surround you, dear heart – 
Brother Ian

Thought for the day…


"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.  But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.  For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
-- Jesus, the Christ, in The Gospel according to St Matthew
