Season's Greetings
To all my Christian friends celebrating the birth of Christ;
To all my Hindu friends who celebrated Siva/Vishnu Deeputsav in early December, and love to celebrate anyway;
To all my Buddhist friends who have this month celebrated Bodhi Day;
To my few Parsi/Zoroastrian friends who have no major festivals this month, but take any opportunity to reflect on “Good thoughts, good words, good deeds”;
To my Canadian and American friends who celebrate Kwanzaa;
To my fellow Natural Pantheists celebrating a vibrant and inclusive Universe;
Let us all go forth into the New Year reflecting and radiating the love that is symbolised by the Season for all of the celebrants. Let us speak out against injustice. Let us thwart evil wherever we find it. Let us build a world in which everyone is a shareholder. Let us work together for Peace and Goodwill.
Greyhavens Toast
Here’s to past and future friends,
to loved ones we hold dear:
here’s to those here with us now,
and those who can’t be here.
Here’s to those who have passed on,
their memories with us still:
here’s to building a better world,
with love, peace, and goodwill.
Season’s Greetings from Jim, Terry, Geoff and Siobhán
