ディレイノーモア。。。delay no more...

How much of human life is lost in waiting...?

Time flies, and waits for no-one... no matter how much we may wish otherwise. In the blink of an eye, life slips between our fingers, and the years march on, unceasing... I guess we all have regrets. Small and large. They are inevitable. A necessary consequence of the human condition: The conversations we never had. The time we did not spend. Never telling the people who mattered, that they made us happy, when we were in their company... that our world was the better for them being in it... Even if, it is for these things alone that we now regret: things left unsaid... it is regret enough. For now the moment is passed, or they are gone, and we are old... but let us not dwell on that...
For a new decade is upon us, as one year draws to it's inevitable close and another stands poised to begin... Another chance to get things right... And so, if you will forgive me, I must ask for your forbearance once more, as I borrow the words of another, one last time... You must understand by now that I altogether lack my own... Yet borrowed as they are, I hope you understand that the sentiment is sincere... I may have even added a bit of myself within, somewhere in the passing :) And so, these then are my last and first words to you, of the previous decade and the next...

I hope you have a wonderful year. May your days be filled with magic and wonder and just that little bit of madness :) I hope you read some good books, watch some fine films, and at the strike of midnight, kiss someone who thinks you're wonderful (which you are :) I hope you continue to dream grandly and outrageously - and then wake up and make those dreams a reality... Live a life without regret, leave no path untaken and find whatever it is you are searching for... Make something in this world that did not exist before you made it: write or draw or dance or sing or live or "be" as only you can :) And somewhere in the next year, be sure to surprise everyone, including yourself :)
I hope that you will be loved and I hope that you will be liked, and I hope that you will have people to love and like in return. And, most importantly (because I think there should be more kindness and wisdom in the world right now), I hope that you will, when you need to be, be wise, and that you will always be kind...
