Books2Read- New Year Odyssey

 New Year Odyssey is an original poem by Warren Brown. This is a poem of hope during these times of crisis. We are all learning a new way of living. Our lives will never be the same again. This poem is a document of the present and will provide a beacon of hope as humanity moves towards the future.

The seas have been rough and wild,

The weather has been stormy and cold,

The sails of our ships have been ripped to shreds,

Our vessels have been battered in the fiercest gales,

But we still journey on this Odyssey towards the New Year.

https://books2read.com/u/mBoynD

This voyage has not been calm and peaceful,

It has been a savage voyage on rough and dangerous seas.

Many have lost their lives on this journey,

The elements have been cruel and harsh,

The enemy has been brutal and ruthless.

The blue skies have gone and so has the sun,

The skies have now turned to grey,

When will our skies turn to blue?

Perhaps, only when the bad times fade away.

Happy New Year 2015


It is the beginning of a New Year 2015 and we all wait expectantly to watch the year unfold. This is the best time to start working towards fulfilling your dreams and the best way to begin is by doing just something small every day and continuing for the rest of the year.

Here is a short list of a few things you can start today and then continue throughout the year.
1. Write a poem or a short story a day. You could write a page of a novel a day.
2. Create a piece of art like a sketch a day
3. Write a lyric or a song a day
4. Learn a new hobby starting today.
5. Learn to speak a foreign language.
6. Help someone today and become a volunteer.
7. Become a Mentor or a Life Coach and share your wisdom and talents.
8. Try to be a better person by doing something positive in the world.
9. Start a club or group for something you are interested in doing.
10. Learn to enjoy life and to help others on their way through life.
11. Challenge yourself to think outside-the-box and to believe in your own abilities and the power of one person to make a positive difference in the world today.

Have a very Happy and Prosperous New Year 2015

The Calcutta Christmas Visit 2013

I have just returned after a Christmas visit to Calcutta. We flew by Emirates Airline and changed at Dubai before flying to Kolkata.


Dubai has a large and impressive looking airport with a big selection of shops for Duty free section to browse through and to buy from as passengers pass through.

My wife and I had a great time celebrating Christmas and the New Year with family and friends.I got a chance to visit a number of places of interest in the city.

The New Kolkata is growing and developing on the fringes of the Old Calcutta, with multi-storeyed buildings for offices, residences, industrial estates and a growing number of Malls.My wife and I had time to spend time with our two Godsons Ashton and Logan Domingo. I had an opportunity to spend valuable time with my Dad Melvyn Brown, to meet old friends and to taste some of the culinary delights of the city, like Moghlai parathas, Aloo (Potato) rolls, chicken liver rolls, puchkas and a variety of Biryanis. We had a Christmas and New Year worth remembering. I even had enough photos and videos from our trip to make three short films based on Logan's Birthday party, time spent with Dad and a movie on our Calcutta trip.

A New Year is Born by Warren Brown

Today, is not just any morn,
No, it is the day the New Year was born.

What type of year will it be?

Will it be filled with fumbles and rumbles

In genetic science and technology?

Or will it be a year when Man and Woman

Change the course of evolving human History?


As the Seasons will come

And the Seasons will go,

The New Year will begin with a shine

Then gradually lose its lustrous glow.


Every New Year has its story to tell

Which begins with the Midnight bell.

Every New Year has its lessons,

Its judgments and its rewards.

But, the best way the celebrate the New Year

Is with joy, expectancy and good cheer.


What will the New Year hold for you?

Will you be drinking Champagne,

On your own private plane?

Or will you be sipping cold tea,

And munching on a bit of dried turkey?


Regardless of what the New Year may hold

Always remember to walk tall and be bold.

Strive hard for success and you will find

A treasure of happiness and a goldmine.

Expect to put in your best in everything you do

And a successful life will be offered to you.


As the Earth celebrates the maize and the corn,

The ever changing and fascinating dusk and dawn,

Celebrate the coming of the promising morn,

As a New Year filled with great opportunities is born.

The New Year Guardian

In a parallel universe in a world very much like ours, a million light years and multi-dimensions away, yet closer to us than we can imagine, the people await the arrival of their New Year Guardian, as the old year comes to an end.

On this world, called Earth-sphere, in a parallel universe the Guardian Angel is very real. Every person has a guardian Angel who comes to his or her rescue, when there are problems. While there are evil angels, who can affect a person, only when they overcome the guardian angel of protection.

Sam who is just an ordinary young boy, was rescued as a baby, from the edge of the window-sill, where he was saved from falling off, by his guardian angel. Heather and Jonathan were saved from a serious car accident, when they were saved by their guardian angels.

On Earth-sphere Guardian Angels can be seen by ordinary people, while the evil angels can be seen as well. Guardian Angels are the very reality of existence for the people on Earth-Sphere.

Today is New Year’s Eve on Earth-sphere and Sam is waiting for his Guardian Angel, who has been with him the whole year, to step out through the Door of Light and return renewed and refreshed as the New Year Angel.

As the clock strikes 12 midnight, Sam’s Guardian Angel, a tall white shimmering figure, who floats above the ground with his long robes and white large white feathery wings, waves at him before stepping into the Door of Light. Within a few seconds, the New Year Guardian Angel steps back through the Door of Light, with a warm smile on his face and ready to protect Sam throughout the New Year.

On our world, we do not see our Guardian Angels and we even doubt their existence. In order for Guardian Angels to become a reality we need to cultivate that all important ingredient, we need to believe in Guardian Angels. Believe and all things are possible, even Guardian Angels!

Have a Happy New Year and May Your Guardian Angel Always Guide You and Protect You!
