Happy New Year 2013

I've heard that running water purifies itself every one hundred feet. I do not know whether this is true but when I compare it to how I try to purify myself in one year intervals it gets me to thinking about the futility of my yearly resolutions. It seems that one hundred feet would be a better distance to travel between my good deeds. I'm thinking of getting one of those pedestrian odometers and giving it a whirl.

 

Meanwhile, here's wishing all of my friends in Flickrland a very Happy New Year and a wonderful 2013. Whether your resolution is to create, re-create, procreate, meditate, hesitate, desecrate, or salivate I hope that you find yourself being a little bit kinder to one another in the coming year and even more so to those that don't seem to deserve it.

 

I leave you with this little Cherokee Blessing that I've always loved:

 

May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house.

May the Great Spirit bless all who enter there.

May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows,

and may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.
