A good friend shared with me these words from the late wonderful and wise poet, Maya Angelou. They are so appropriate for the beginning of a new year and new decade.
My wish for you is that you continue...
Continue to be who and how you are, to astonish a mean world with your acts of kindness...
Continue to allow humour to lighten the burden of your tender heart...
Continue in a society dark with cruelty to let the people hear the grandeur of god in the peals of your laughter...Continue to let your eloquence elevate the people to heights they had only imagined...

Continue to remember your own young years and look with favour upon the lost and the least and the lonely...
Continue to put the mantel of your protection around the bodies of the young and defenseless...
Continue to take the hand of of the despised and diseased and walk proudly with them in the high street...
Continue to plant a public kiss of concern on the cheek of the sick and the aged and inform and count that as a natural action to be expected...
Continue to let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to pray your nightly prayer and let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and to welcome good...
Continue to ignore no vision which comes to enlarge your range and increase your spirit...
Continue to dare to love deeply and risk everything for the good thing...
Continue to float happily in the sea of infinite substance which set aside riches for you before you had a name...
Continue - and by doing so you and your work will be able to continue eternally.
