Wishing you the best in the new year / Tanti auguri per l’anno nuovo

Dearest friends and colleagues,

I hope your new year is filled with hope, joy, health, laughter, prosperity and peace. Not a single day passes that I don’t reflect on how fortunate and grateful I am to know so many kind, creative, generous and loving people. My life is richer and more vibrant for having known and shared a part of my path with you.

Spero che il tuo nuovo anno è pieno di speranza, gioia, salute, risate, di prosperità e di pace. Non passa un singolo giorno che non rifletto su quanto come fortunata e grata di conoscere cosi tante persone gentile, creativi, generosi e amorevole. La mia vita è più ricca per averti conosciuto e per aver condiviso una parte del mio cammino con te.

I leave you with a favourite poem of mine:

Vi lascio con uno delle mie poesie preferite:

i thank You God for most this amazing
day:for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes

(i who have died am alive again today,

and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)

how should tasting touching hearing seeing
breathing any--lifted from the no

of all nothing--human merely being
doubt unimaginable You?

(now the ears of my ears awake and
now the eyes of my eyes are opened)

--ee cummings

Snowflakes and Sunbeams,

Brittney
