What do you hope your legacy to be?

Legacy is funny. I’ve been thinking a lot about that recently.  I mean perhaps we will be remembered for two generations by our family, no more than that, so really who cares. What matters is what you do now, when you’re here. In my work I want to tell stories and affect people, that’s all I can hope for. I want to be a good aunt and daughter, sister, friend and lover.  The writer of “His Dark Materials” said something the other day which really resonated with me. He said,  “Everyone is so concerned with ‘Being Great’ but it is all at the expense of ‘Being Good’”. Goodness and Grace is under-rated.  That’s what I am going to try and be more of. Sod legacy.
