For me ,this doll with two faces

between the pages of a book,

symbolises the looking forward and looking back

at the adventures and narratives of life.

As the year draws to its close – along with the first decade of the 21st Century - I wanted to share this post from Steve Hayes’ blog, Khanya. 

Steve has found himself in reflective mood – and there is much that others of us might wish to imitate at year’s and decade’s end.  Warning:: it may be good to have a tissue or handkerchief with you as you read.
