Dear Friends: As I write this, the winds have died down and leaf blowers are going all over the neighborhood! We have had quite a time of it, and I am not sure it is over yet! Winter in Santa Barbara is really the most beautiful time. Clear skies and fresh air and a nice nip in the air. I just got back from meeting friends for lunch at the Brown Pelican, a place on the beach that is much loved here. So many young people in their wet suits and kids digging in the sand and enjoying their creative buildings of sand and sticks! And don’t forget the happy smiling dogs eager to play ball with their friends! Makes me think of the poem I wrote many years ago while waiting in my dressing room to go on set for some project I was working on;
I really have to work hard to remind myself of this often these days. I can’t remember what was going on in my life at the time the poem came to me, but I know it is the truth.
There are times when we have absolutely no idea what is going to happen in our life. Times when we all have a huge bout with loneliness. None of us is excused from this I believe. Accepting that there is very little over which we have any control can be most frightening, or freeing. And these two states may pop back and forth in our experience. Yet, it seems we must believe in the ultimate good of all that occurs, and participate in the good as best we can. Resolutions for a New Year. We all have some I’m
sure. May we all be greatly inspired in those areas where we do
have some control. New Year’s Blessings
