I'd like to thank all of you : loyal internet friends - Sarah, Farmwife, Lea - whom I consider as true friends although we never met.
Your friendship has ment very much and I hope that we will continue this way through 2008!
To my IRL (in real life) Friends, I owe an awefully big thank you as well - for supporting me through the good and - more precisely - the bad times.
I wish you all a very happy and wonderful 2008, hoping that you will have mostly good times and luck, and if bad times do come, I wish you a helping hand, a loyal ear and a loving shoulder to cope with it.
At last but not least, to the animals of this planet :
In a world [...] more compete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. [You] are not brethren, [you] are not underlings ; [you] are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendors and travail of the earth
--Henry Beston, The Outermost House
May the human world grow to respect you more and more and see you for what you really are : lessons of life, each and everyone of you.
You are all, human and animal, precious to me.
