“I shall pass through this world but once.
If therefore, there be any kindness I can show,
or any good thing I can do, let me do it now:
let me not defer or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.”
-Etienne de Grellet

This heart is a strong muscle.
It never disappoints.
When put to work,
there is always strength,
there is always strength.
This heart is a deep well.
When the bucket is lowered
and dips into its depths,
there is always refreshment,
there is always refreshment.
Another year fades
as longings permeate
the hollows of our regrets.
So much lost.
But what have we gained?
Yet tomorrow beckons.
A promise of a brighter day.
As our hearts brim with hope
upon mended wings…
Let us love each other
as we enter a new Spring.

Wishing each one of you a safe and wonderful end to the year…as well as a beautiful start to the next.

Love and compassion, sorrow and strife
An uneven rhythm, this opus called life
Fate she is fickle, one day you’re stuck
And the next you may have a stroke of good luck

Everyday, a wilderness
a challenge,
a pain…
Our hearts and souls
are hard at work.
The world is in turmoil
and cannot be ignored.
We struggle together.
I pray for all of us…
