Happy New Year! Szczęśliwego nowego roku! Frohes neues Jahr! Bonne année! Feliz Año Nuevo!
The turning of the new year is a really exciting time filled with hopes for the future and a looking back to what was. The Ancient Romans had a god, Janus, who is depicted with two faces, one looking forward and one looking backward. He was known as the god of beginnings and transitions, of the presider of war and peace, the beginning and ending of conflict. As we start this new year may we begin it with hope in our hearts. In some countries celebrations have been cancelled due to terror threats. Humans in general are a people of indomitable strength of will and spirit. In face of fear and its obstructions, may we always find another way around or over the barriers placed in front of us, even those that we impose on ourselves.
I wish you all a happy, prosperous New Year! May you be a light of hope to the world.
