I have been finding light in my guitar (I’m teaching myself and it’s a thrill to be able to even just play something simple), and in reading the beautiful classic novels!
Love the idea of bridges between us, connecting us, shortening distance between us, and I know I will be continuing to create them, watch for them, and skip across them!
I've come to look forward to Sundays and the posts on A Considerable Age. What a remarkable group of thinkers and writers you have attracted, Alice. Your initiative does, in its own small way, make our world a better place.
So, you write that you want to hear what's bringing light into your readers' worlds these days? Well, it's you!
Thank you Alice for bringing a considerable age to my consciousness. I hope that in 2025 i might get up the courage to to contribute to this wonderful project.
Thank you, Alice. Please keep the stories coming. Thank you to all the writers who have made my Sunday mornings so much more enjoyable. To each and every person in this little jewel of a community, I wish health and peace of mind for 2025.
Being born into a wonderful family is a stroke of luck. Joining a new virtual community of readers and writers in one’s eighth decade (itself a disturbing way of describing one’s 70s) is a joy. Alice, you are both a gifted writer and a marvellous shepherd of others (even if it occasionally means telling me to get the flock out of here). Thanks for both the opportunity to contribute occasionally (complete with your invisible-weaving editorial skills) and the regular dosing of the experiences and perspectives of others. The world may be difficult, but gratitude is still pretty easy to find.
Hello from down under to our kindred spirits, our dear Canadian friends. 👋🏼 Thanks Alice for your wonderful words of care and comfort. We live a long way from war zones, but the horrors still find us and penetrate our hearts, especially as we are helpless against the fragile egos of men with no conscience and a barrel full of needless aggression. Despite signs everywhere saying rudeness won't be tolerated, I still find most people are kind and caring and so I hope that despite the madness "out there", that we can still maintain a sense of hope and grace in here ➡️ 💜
Thanks Alice. Gratitude is indeed the best attitude - and we all enjoy many blessings in this country. We should acknowledge and celebrate them every day. Relative to most places in the world I believe Canada remains a civil beacon to the world. I’m reminded of this Almost every
Thank you, Alice, for this timely, thoughtful reflection on the good we might hope for in the coming year despite the many challenges we face. Thank you for reminding us that there is stil much to be grateful for. Most of all, thank you for providing and sustaining this wonderful community where we get to console and amuse and inspire our fellow writers and readers wherever they may live.
Thank you Alice for this beam of hopeful words through the dark. I love the idea of writing bridges. And I look forward to reading another year of A Considerable Age.
Alice, thank you for your pitch perfect words in heart-breaking times. There are joys and bridges to be found and forged. I have learned a great deal from A Considerable Age and from The Mother Land. I also appreciate Stella's nuanced and wonderful collage art. May some of our hopes be realized in 2025. Glad you have a global reach!

If the light is darkening I must practice seeing better in the dark.

It has been wonderful to connect over our shared love of words and our shared memories.
