Year of the mountain

As expected I spent the first day of the new year in solitude and didn't eat, as no one was there to share with. New Years Day (1.1.) is a family day. Singles are invisible.
In Germany we say, all the things you do on 1st of January, you will do the year over.

Ok, Kata is in good training with this. *gg*
By getting physically less, weirdness will but grow, as brain is the essence of body. ^^


On New Year's night I had company in the stable and later outside in the meadow. I sang for the horses of my friend, like I did on last year's New year's night, when I was close to hell.
We enjoyed some hands of good hay and dreamed about sparkling french champaigne (which I used to share with our german horses).
And they liked it all. :-)

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.

The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...
as long as life endures.


It seems that horses have always been my only company on the edges of life - in Germany as in Iceland.
Strange - but whenever I am alone, they are near and help to keep the balance, they caress a foolishly beating heart and make you think foward. They make you breathe and give as much comfort as it takes to grab a plan. Good companions :)

My plan for 2o12: going to the mountain.
Whatever mountain this will be, made of stone or made of hope.
And I don't want to go there alone.







So here are my New Year's wishes for you:

May you always have a reason to smile.
May you always have someone by your side - be it cat, dog or horse. Or man. (or fish)
May you even in dark night find the sunny side of life - or at least have someone near to show you.

May God put an eye on us and lead us safely through rough seas and dead calms.
May He lead us up to the mountain.
