- Castellan joins hands with Kitten. "It has indeed been a year of changes for
- many of us... although I suppose the same can be said of most years. We have
- been through happy, fulfilling times, and bitter, lonely times, seen our hopes
- fulfilled and dashed, lost friends, gained friends, changed jobs, changed
- locations, seen beauty and joy mixed with pain and ugliness, and generally
- been to all ends of the spectrum and back. Through it all, may we continue
- to persevere and to let our humanity shine through.

- "May the long time sun shine upon you,
- All love surround you,
- And the clear light within you
- Guide your way home..."
-
- sending thoughts of peace and love to all,
