The Winter Solstice has
just passed, and the longest darkness is behind us, for this year anyway. Merry
Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, Happy Yule, Splendid Saturnalia, and an
excellent anything I’ve missed, to all of my relatives and friends who
celebrate any or all of them. May your holidays be filled with joy
and excitement and love, both anticipated and unexpected, and may you
find adventure, challenge, and contentment in the proportions that you prefer.
As this year winds down, I once again wish
for better, happier, more peaceful days for all people of good will.
I have the essentially unchanging message
for all of my readers once again this year. May all of you be happy and
healthy, and hale and hearty, and as prosperous as you want to be, throughout
the holiday season and the year to come. As I say at this time every year, may
peace and good will prevail for everyone, everywhere, may generosity and
kindness carry the day, and may the greedy and selfish be confounded.
Truth and justice and freedom will win out
in the end, and all the sooner if we help them along. No effort is
trivial; each candle
flame holds the darkness back a little more.
Happy holidays; stay strong.
