I can't believe I'm already wishing you, my wonderful fans and subscribers, Happy Holidays and a joyous season! Ready to say sayonara to 2022 and looking forward, as I always do, to a new year.
The older I get, the more I feel like the days fly by. A very prosaic but true sentiment. In my rather careless and cavalier youth, I was often beset by boredom. Thinking things couldn't move fast enough and why was I in such a hurry anyway?
Fast forward a few years (more than a few but not saying how less few), I wish the days/months/years would slow their roll. Now that I've got more 'me' time, now that strict schedules aren't the be-all and end-all of my life, I just want to enjoy the fleeting moments in life before I'm fleeting into the next moment.
2022 is drawing to a close and I'm cruising into 2023 with no preconceived notions (or so I tell myself). I only know this: the engine still burns hot and runs full steam for art and art pursuits. I don't know where this train is taking me. I'm just soaking up the scenery. Each year unfolding like a new and exciting landscape. As I witness the seeds I've planted (or have been planted in me) bearing fruit, it's quite a thrill.
So what the heck is my message here? Just this: if you've ever dreamed a dream, nurture it, pursue it. Give it light, love and room to grow. Because a dream becoming a reality, no matter how circuitous the route, is a gift that keeps on giving.
