In the preface to the edition of the comic adaptation Treasure Island which I recently spent a ticket , Hugo Pratt quoted the words of his father when the latter had offered him the novel " You too, one day, you go get your island ... Do not worry if you do not find it right away and there are a lot, you meet her when the time comes .
We all carry within us our island and our islands are different. If the year 2010 which ended you have not seen to find your island, whether Spitzbergen, Tahiti or Cythera, the year 2011 that starts you will perhaps.
For my part, that's long enough that I understood that what matters is not the destination but the journey, with its discoveries and its uncertainties, its meetings and learning.
I wish you good luck and safe journey to your island!
