Williamsburg always takes me back to my "roots". It is where I spent the best years of my life. It was a Sea of Tranquility during the turmoil of the 60's. The political strife, the social changes would all disappear as I took the short walk down Duke of Gloucester to another time, a place in history with its own conflicts but it always helped me to put my times in perspective. There was hope and promise in the dreams of the New World and the New Country. I often took those walks with the lady who would become my wife. We had our hopes for the future too even though we didn't know exactly how those dreams might become a reality.
I post this card to wish all of you the best of the Holiday Season. I post it with the hope that 2009 is somehow smoother than the forecast. I post it to have you put on your great coat, seize the reins and take your vessels through the storm into the future and pray that it is a bright one for each of you.
I have one daughter in foreclosure, another has seen the loss of her job, a son in a far away land hoping to make a go of it since things are so dark here. But that is the point, never give up on your dreams and the HOPE of better times is what will see you through the turmoil.
Peace be to all of you.
