I still believe, however, in a power of love which can come to us if we ask for its help, as I have experienced this strikingly on occasion.

However, I'm not going to argue whether this is God, or some other natural type of power.

I enjoyed your comment about printing this out to the homeless - yes that was genuinely amusing.

I guess I'm a mug who really enjoys shit at Xmas like It's a Wonderful Life and Scrooge (the most recent version with that Star Trek captain guy as the eponymous tight-arse was truly excellent).

These films are great because IMO there is a subtle truth in there that we are looked after at the end of the day.

Just write me off as a romantic, if you like.

In any case, best wishes for 2005.
