Happy New Year everyone. It's now officially 2026! And here are my thoughts at this turning of the year.
It's a little poem I wrote (no AI, just me), which I hope you like - a prayer for the unknown: unknown time, unknown people, unknown new world. But that shouldn't be something to fear when you know you can create your own destiny.
So let's create something wonderful, together.
All the best

A Prayer For The Unknown
As the wheel turns once more, it’s time to reflect
Not with anger or judgement; we must be circumspect
There are plenty of things to feel angry about
Like war, greed and famine, injustice and drought
We could all blame each other, spreading hatred and fear
But would things be different, at this time next year?
Isn’t it time we tried something new?
Like agreeing to differ; seeing ‘me’ within ‘you’

The bonds that unite us are more than we know
But these are the things that are never on show
Like compassion and love, trust and respect
The ‘influencers’ with the greatest effect
It starts very simply with the choices you make
To try something new, it’s a risk that you take
To give and show love to all that you meet
And to master your temper when you’re feeling the heat
Instead of reacting with fear and rebuff
Say to yourself that enough is enough!
Be that brave person who’s willing to change
And give of yourself, with no thought of exchange
For the love that you give ripples outward forever
Your energy changes, so never say ‘never’
Your act of compassion will begin to increase
And there will come a time when the world is at peace
So let’s all commit to taking more care
To radiate love with plenty to share
The dreams we all carry are tangible near
Let’s bring love, peace and hope to the world this New Year
Happy 2026!
