Salutations 2022 one/all

as we say adieu to 2021.

Grateful we are not alone

illuminated by John Donne.

 

To kith & kin, I pray divine blessings

bestowed upon thee: all you hold dear.

May life’s wonderment in all seasons

enrich and multiply this coming year.

'No Man is an Island'

No man is an island entire of itself; every man 

is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; 

if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe 

is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as 

well as any manner of thy friends or of thine 

own were; any man's death diminishes me, 

because I am involved in mankind. 

And therefore never send to know for whom 

the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
