Neverland
Where will your imagination take you in the year ahead? One of the delights of reading J.M. Barrie’s book, Peter Pan, is discovering new insights. For example, ‘the Neverland’ is not described as one place. Rather it is a map of a child’s mind, with all the wonders and horrors that lurk there. Neverland is the visualisation of our imagination – and your Neverland is not the same as mine. The trick, as in Peter Pan, is to believe in the best parts (and put in the necessary effort) and then, what we imagine and wish for may come true.
