^I don't think you'll concur with this one, however!
2025 will just have to wait for me – I’m not ready for it yet! LOL! Chinese New Year will do me just fine – maybe by the 29th of Jan I’ll have caught up. Sheesh – where does the time go??
I like to revisit Jonathan Livingston Seagull at this time of year – attempt to do all the reflecting I’m supposed to have done well before January 1st instead of which bumbling along blindly into the light of a new trip around the sun with no apparent future plan seems to be my default setting! The flying theme is apt - flying by the seat of one’s pants.
Both JLS and Illusions are easy to read reminders of a few things. Yes – thinly veiled allegory but inspirational and thought provoking, nonetheless, and about the right philosophical weight for the season! Inevitably, I’ll be listening to Neil Diamond too – that association is set in stone. Besides, it’s magical stuff IMHO – what a voice, and brilliant lyrics. He really felt it.
