New Year, new perspective

I climbed on the roof next to my new office to see places; I am passing by every day; from new perspective. (Please don't not tell it Dean of my Faculty, I don't think she would be very keen on this idea :)) And I was thinking about year 2013... it was a good year :) yeah, with all those challenges and difficulties... a good year.

For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are. - C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

To me; probably the most important words this year

I didn't believe,
Standing on the bank of a river
Which was wide and swift,
That I would cross that bridge
Plaited from thin, fragile reeds
Fastened with bast.
I walked delicately as a butterfly
And heavily as an elephant,
I walked surely as a dancer
And wavered like a blind man.
I didn't believe that I would cross that bridge,
And now that I am standing on the other side,
I don't believe I crossed it. - L.Staff, The Bridge

And I hope to climb on this roof next year again :)
