A year has passed and yet it has been as if we had traversed a decade. It is indeed a leap where some have crossed a deep chasm of pain in a single bound. Some have fallen into the deeps but they too are not lost. For none is ever lost in this great and tremendous journey of life. They too shall rise and return in a world grown stronger and sweet through all these varied challenges of life.
And as the tide passes, life returns but reorganising itself anew.
Many things have shifted, not only outside and in our ways of life but also within, in the way we think and feel. It is as if a great churning took place, shifting all our previous arrangements and groupings of people and nations. The old associations have suddenly fallen apart and new things are in sight.
Yet is this a moment of deep transition? The past seems to have vanished leaving a ghost or shadow of itself. The future is still held back in some mist and shroud of secrecy. What is needed most at this hour is courage and faith, courage that remains undaunted by the suddenness of things and a faith that remains steadfast in its journey towards the future unaffected by appearances that incessantly change.
With this courage and faith let us move forward towards the greater, the luminous unknown.
