I wonder what it will bring

As I think about the coming of the new year 2013,
I wonder what it will bring.
And then I wonder what I can bring to it myself.

My thoughts bring me to a gentle,
warm and pleasant place.
A place of blankets made by hand.
A blanket of patches comes to mind.
and on each patch is a name.
some old, some new.
and some I have yet to know.
and all are placed randomly in a basket
it is for me to sew them together.                     
and when I do,
a blessing will flow.

this photo is one of my favourites.
these beautifull wild flowers are covered in the early morning mist.
yet still their colours shine through.

happy new year 2013
