“ For this was Christmas, which had always been a time of magic, to him and to all the world. ”
The hope is always here, always alive, but only your fierce caring can fan it into a fire to warm the world.
~ Susan Cooper
It is a burden...(M)ake no mistake about that. Any great gift or power or talent is a burden and this more than any, and you will long to be free of it. But there is nothing to be done. If you were born with the gift, then you must serve it, and nothing in this world or out of it may stand in the way of that service, because that is why you were born and that is the Law.- Susan Cooper (Merriman The Dark is Rising)
The future can not blame the present, just as the present cannot blame the past.
And at the last all shall be safe, and evil thrust out never to return. And so that the trust be kept, he said, I give it into your charge, and your sons', and your sons' sons, until the day come.
