To all my friends and followers,
I hope that your year has been a good one. And if not, I hope that your next year is better. I hope that for every pain in your life, you find an answering joy. I hope for strength for you to rise to each occasion, and love to warm you and bear you up when your feet grow too weary or your heart too cold. And may you one day find the opportunity and strength in order to carry another in your turn.
May the sufferings in your life bring you new wisdom, new opportunities and a richer appreciation for yourself. May the beauties you encounter be correspondingly great and bountiful. May you receive the nourishment for your spirit to grow and thrive and flower.
May you find your place in the world, or make it to suit yourself. May you find the people who enrich and fulfill you. May you find the work that fills your mind and soul.
I hope that you can look into your heart and see the beauty, richness and wonder that I see there, my friend; the beauty, richness and wonder that I have received from you. I hope that you one day be granted the blessing of seeing your goodness and the wealth that you have brought to my life and the lives of others, through our eyes.
Merry Christmas to you, to every one of you I’ve been blessed to encounter and interact with this year, and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the human riches of kindness, creativity, comfort and insight you have showered on me this year.
