…and all the rest of it.
It’s has been a mind bending year. A long year of change.
It is difficult.
But IAM gratefully holds the memories and experiences.
Don says “We affirm our “I” ness… ”
He says its a doorway to Paterson, a doorway to respect
where you are welcome.
Everybody deserves respect, and how you do it is important too.
There’s a love of movement and having your due time…
in your own time…
Moving simultaneously.
There’s a balance of appreciation.
Even our enemies deserve appreciation…”
Says Don…
And IAM saying,
“We can make it!
Things have changed but the IAM spirit remains!
We create and share in our abundant City!”
“You are the muse of the renaissance…” Â he says.
“IAM the universe.
The universe is infinite.
…and infinity is our blessing!
It is happening! Time is marching on.
In this, we maintain hope and strive towards love.
Am I wrong?
Did I understand it correctly?
We agree.
IAM wishing you and yours the best “Seasons!”in the New Year and in the years to come.
