Hoping next year will be a kinder year to all and the world will take a collective step back from plunging into the abyss of war, hatred and internecine anger which seems to be becoming political currency. And if it you think it's slightly bonkers that some housewife in Kent is writing that, then you can see how far the world has already marched towards that brink...
We are given a life
The best gift we will be given
And with it the gift of love and hope
A living prayer
Let go of despair
Let go of hatred
Let go of violence
Unwrap your heart from fear
And embrace life
A living prayer
