Resolutions
It's that time of year again when we reflect on the last twelve months and think about what went well for us, what lessons we learned and what we want to do differently in the future.
For everyone it is something different. Just remember that everything that happened did so for a reason, even the 'bad' stuff. Especially the bad stuff. Sometimes things happen to prevent even worse stuff happening. To give an example, in the summer I had a bicycle stolen which had very dodgy brakes, and that on a dry day. After heading out and buying another bike second hand, I was cycling home whilst my mind was one world peace (or quite possibly what I was going to cook for dinner) when I came within inches of a high speed head on collision with a car. We were eyeball to eyeball. I was saved only by a great pair of brakes on my new bike.

Hitching and the Law of Abundance...
The law of abundance is a foundation of freeconomy. I believe that if you live your life in the service of others without a care in the world for what tomorrow brings, you will have your needs met in a way infinitely more beautiful than our dog-eat-dog society could ever manage.

Flying...
I recently had the good fortune of seeing a band called Seize the day play in Bristol. They are one of those bands who seem to have that rare art of producing wonderful music while backing it up with some of the most insightful lyrics I have ever heard. And that's not something I say lightly as I am a man who likes his lyrics.
