What a great year it has been! I have learned so much, including this new hi-tech way of connecting to my family, friends and everyone who has stopped in and visited richmatters.com in 2009.
It has shown me that there are so many ways that we can be a part of one global community. We speak of this one-ness and find it so difficult to truly understand how closely we are a part of each other’s lives.
The very act of sitting at my computer and writing a few words, has forever altered the universe, affected everything in the cosmos. That’s pretty profound! Each person, in his or her own way, is vital to the big picture of my life.
Tonight I would love to be visited by the ‘ghost of the past’ and taken on a trip to those moments where my life was enriched by so many people. I would love to be able to, tonight at least, wallow in long gone friendships, remembering the camaraderie, the loving good times, the awesome wonder of learning who we are as human beings, how much, after all that artificial surface coating has been scraped away, we truly love and need each other…all of us.
Yes, this is the time of the season for children. Wouldn’t it be great tonight, with my friendly ghost, to return and visit some of those precious moments with our own young children…..maybe re-live some of those circumstances for rejoicing, watching them grow into young adults. Maybe see where there has been some hurt, where a bit of healing is called for. Mostly to experience the deep love for them and from them.
For whatever meaning tonight is supposed to provide, it’s truly about the children and love. That’s what matters most!
It is my wish that each of you have a magical, mystical season of love and joy! The rest will take care of itself!
Rich
