Formidable From A Distance

Dougie Maclean: Auld Lang Syne

I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesteryears are buried deep, leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in
a cloud, formidable from
a distance.

BEST WISHES TO ALL FOR A HAPPIER NEW YEAR
