The first day of the New Year is –
an artist starting on a fresh canvas – with an idea
a reader discovering a new author – and prepared to give her a chance.
an athlete still wanting to improve their personal best – but comfortable with who they are
a cook about to try a new recipe – and hoping the result will be edible
a writer looking at a blank page – without anxiety
a gardener ordering seeds, bulbs – and a new spade
a student on their graduation day – knowing they don't know everything
a driver in a hurry to get there – but without speeding
and
a diary filled full – of possibility, opportunity and clean pages
with enough space to make some of the above actually happen!
(For those unfamiliar with the building, it is the Sir Duncan Rice Library, University of Aberdeen, photographed at the start of a new day. The goal posts in the foreground have their own educational symbolism – go for it!)
