A thrill of hope. A ray of light in the gloom. A willingness to risk failure against the possibility of something good and deeply rewarding happening. Messages of hope during Advent have opened me to risks. Some I find most difficult are the risks of offending someone. How often do I second-guess what a person’s reaction might be to something I say or do? We can self-censor ourselves into oblivion. May we all open our hearts and minds to new possibilities in our challenging New Years.
In lieu of an address, a tourist to Iceland drew this map of Búðardalur and surroundings on an envelope. The postal service was successful in delivering it pic.twitter.com/otxJ55kmK8

Laurna – May it be so.
