... as once having stated in a letter to his brother:

"Many a man has a bonfire in his heart and nobody comes to warm himself at it. The passers-by notice only a little smoke coming from the chimney and go away."

As this the Christian "Festive Season" begins, in this the year of our Lord 2003, let us all warm ourselves at the bonfires of those around us, and be comforted by that nearness. Let this communal warmth be the fuel that fosters a collective goodwill amongst all.

Best wishes to all for a healthy, anxiety-free, and prosperous 2004.

So very true Warren. I had never heard that before but it sounds so familiar and like so many other truisms.

Many never see past the clothes or the outward appearence in general. Some of us may look a little scary but dont mean we are. Some end up losing the warmth. Sad

I hope you all have a good time and here is a wish for a better next 12 months. Smile

Loves for you all. Smile
