My family and friends are the most important things in my life. But I need to keep leaving to remind myself of this fact and to meet up with an old friend of mine called A Sense of Wonder. I do believe I am better to those closest to me when I've spent time with A Sense of Wonder and I hope they too get to meet my old friend in their own kind of way.
