A toast

I really envy the young boy in The Alchemist, not because he found his treasure of Spanish gold coins, but because his path crossed with wise sages, the king and the alchemist. How many of us will have the privilege to encounter someone wise, let alone to learn from the guru? My wildest dream is to be able to meet that someone whose words can blow my mind away, someone who is blessed with the most precious gift from God; the wisdom. Maybe someone as wise as Morgan Scott Peck or William Barclay? Perhaps then, I'll find the answer to the age old questions like Who am I? What should I be doing? Where am I going? What is happiness?

Anyway, here's a little toast to the year to come. I hope I'll grow a little bit wiser everyday. :)
