If that's what it takes...

Season's end...

...wars and rebellions, depression and recession, economic and cultural breakdown, instability, fear, lost of hope and faith. Is this all we got from last year? For some of us maybe yes.

But I can still hear the voices of you, fighters. I can still feel the heart of you, lovers. I can still breathe the hope of you, dreamers. I can still sense the prayers of you, faithful. And the solidarity, and the help, and the sympathy, of you brothers and sisters. And I am still in love. With you and everything that we can achieve together. But mostly with our Destination.

Things will change, again and again. Whatever we gain will be lost as history shows us. The road to happiness is in front of us though, paved with love and humility. It is longer that you would expect but it worths the effort.

We are not anonymous. We do not forget but we do forgive. Smile and keep on straight through the fog. If that's what it takes, that's what we'll do.

Merry Christmas to you all and a bright new year!
