This was my Christmas newsletter last year, reflecting on Zelenskyy's Christmas message, and so little of the underlying sentiment has changed that I’m not publishing another this year.
More soon, on another theme—but this is unfortunately as relevant as ever.
#War #Humanism

@MLClark As unlikely as it may seem, may this be our darkest hour before a bright dawn of peace that will last for generations and longer
From your lips to whatever force of nature is willing to bend an ear, my friend! Happiest of days to you. 🤗
@MLClark Thank you for being a part of my joy! Happy days and happy years be yours always.
Oh, the same to you, dear Rebecca! Thank you for your sincere striving, your steadfast integrity with self and community, and your vulnerability in the good and the hard alike.
You make the world a better place. Thank you so much for being a part of mine. 🤗
@MLClark It means so much to me that I can be a bright light for you when you are such a bright light for me
You flatter an old beast. I've found that the only way to live true, and live happy is to live deliberately, in the full expression of truth and honest as I know it
Thoreau went to the woods to live deliberately, but living deliberately is a choice that can be made anywhere
I see the same choices in you. You choose to care, choose to love, choose to share and it makes a difference.
I can't find the words or a gif that quite fit my heartfelt feelings right now, so I'm just sending along the biggest hug I can. ❤️ May you always be uplifted, as you uplift so many others in turn.
