Hmmm, will you grant me three simple wishes?
I have no axe to grind today. I have three simple wishes that I would ask all of you to take to heart.
Do not live as if the world is on fire. Live as if it is spinning slowly and steadily as it has always has and always will.
Do not live as if anyone with a different opinion than yours is your mortal enemy. Live as if it is the many and varied viewpoints that make society a rich and beautiful mosaic.
Do not live as if life is a non-stop race in which you must cross the finish line first. Live as if it is a slow stroll through a wildflower meadow where the only prize is a full heart and a soul in harmony with all others.
Live in a way that brings peace on earth for everyone in every corner of this world.
Merry Christmas.
