Happy New Year dear Subscribers! I am so very grateful for you all. I pray your 2022 will be Healthy and Happy and full of Abundance . . .
Ah, what is Abundance? It comes in many forms. There is, of course, Money - a most precious Commodity, like Water, assumed and unnoticed when in great supply, drunk and spilled and run-on with such Luxury as if it might never end . . . And like Water, Money, in its acute or prolonged absence, can mean one’s very Life. If any of you so Suffer, I pray this Abundance, though not in its Vulgarity, comes to you most heartily.
Of the other Abundances, there is Health, who, for some, a sensitive Topic when suddenly Compromised. As writ in STAVE I: When you’re fit as a fiddle and right with the world and survived all the travails that should have laid you low, you’re struck at the height of your glory, at the time when your safety is most seemingly secure - to this I say, Grace and Strength to you dear Hearts. I am your fellow Traveller. I pray that good Faith and good Science be Yours. Indeed, there are Miracles, even if you don’t believe in Miracles. There are Miracles of many stripes.
I pray for you the subtler Abundances - Abundances of Wisdom, Security. Of Will, Perseverance, Strength, Tenacity. An Abundance of Patience. Good Cheer. Satisfaction. Good Relations. Happiness. Serenity. A most happy 2022 to you all!
