There’s an Incredible Hulk in all of us. Our anger bursts out and transforms us. Sometimes it’s directed outwards, and we leave a trail of destruction in our wake as we storm along (turning green is optional!). Or it can be directed inwards, choking us on its ash.

Tuesday, January 1st, 2008Happy New Year!
It’s arbitrary, isn’t it, the calendar (not the moon or the sun) telling us that it’s a new year, but nonetheless, here it is. Every day is an opportunity for a new start, but some more than others.
