Dearest ones
Sending you our warmest wishes for the season. As we usher in another Christmas, we are thankful as always for your love, the warmth of your friendship and the memories we share.
Life is rushing by, children growing up faster than we want and we find that we continuously get lost in the mayhem of routine. Life seems to take on a faded hue and the world around seems harsh and absurd. What with all the terrorists, idiots, misogynists, ignoranants, discriminators and misplaced ideals, we wonder if there is any place for idealists like us. As we wonder at the futility of it all, we also feel guilty; for having everything and yet feeling disconnected. But then we meet someone, so ordinary but so inspirational, we experience something that touches our soul deeply, we see our teenager passionate about a cause, quietly trying to make a difference and we feel renewed again. And we convince ourselves that being completely human and fully alive is just this; that its okay to feel lost every once in a while, because only when you find yourself again do you truly feel alive and completely awake. Only when you accept the brutality of life, do you get the spunk to make a difference.
So life goes one...we hope for a 2016 that gives rise to a more tolerant community, that we allow ourselves to be who we are, sometime ordinary, often boring, or spectacular, shy, bold, heroic or maybe all this, just depending on the day. Love who you are. Be who you want to be. Feel, give, take, laugh, get lost, dance, love, cry, accept people for who they are...be human.
Attached you will find a small update about each of us and if you think that it has been influenced by the work I do, you may well be right. Nevertheless hope you are suitably impressed (especially my friends at Jigsaw).
