Pleasure and simplicity are two old acquaintances.

I left you a message today in the thick snow, just when you passed that old leafless birchtree. I felt your despair and decided to contact you. Hello! I am Anna Perenna, the goddess of the coming year and all the years before and all those yet to unfold. I can see you even without looking, and I can feel you from your birth to your grave. No need to discuss the grave here. No, just the opposite. I wanted you to know that from now on I shall leave you messages, and you shall have hope, knowing that your maker has not deserted you. Did you think that after the magnificent and arduous act of creation I retired? Dear child, not true. I am a god of responsibility! Naturally you don't see me all the time, but I am here nevertheless.
