New Wishes
A handful of wishes pulled from the cabinet this morning. Pick one up — copy, save it to your pinboard, or send it on.
The meaning is plain: may what comes next be kinder than what came before.
Best wishes asks for nothing in return — that's part of its quiet dignity.
Sometimes the most ordinary phrases hold the most generous intentions.
A best wish is a small prayer phrased in everyday clothing.
It travels well across distance, time zones, and the silences between letters.
