What an extraordinary year it has been – a global ‘show’ I would find hard to believe if I had not been able to witness!
People apparently seeking a very similar final chapter – the right to justice and a fair go, to be heard, counted and considered – from countries through to relationships – the boiling point was 2011. Each day seemed to deliver a new episode that left me spinning – extraordinary bravery and sacrifice, juxtaposed against some of the most diabolical cruelty – sent to us via satellite in real time.
But it is the inspirational courage and selfless sacrifice I have witnessed which will take with me into 2012, giving me hope for the chance of a better future for us all.
A little something else I’d like to share apropos the media hype and shallow celebrity culture that seems to permeate our lives today: Have you noticed the world is littered with the regrets of those who failed to heed the words of more experienced souls – the wisdom of those unsung heroes who humbly walk among us? George Bernard Shaw – arguably one of the most astute observers of the human condition – once quipped ‘youth is wasted on the young’.
But I would have to say any age could benefit from a few hours with a soul who has walked the walk, done the hard yards, fought the odds, traversed the depths and survived…perhaps even found ‘the grail’. Whomever that may be in your eyes, seek them out before the new year and show your appreciation by listening, I can guarantee an exchange you will not forget……
Wishing you a Joyous, Safe, and above all else - a Personally Meaningful and Satisfying 2012…… Juliet Le Page 2011
