One can only feel real joy and delight by enabling oneself to feel real pain and despair also. Indeed, there was birth, death, re-birth and re-becoming (and marriage and separation too). All together, all inseparable. Wishing the best for 2026, from London, UK.
It’s been a busy 2025. Lots of things happened in my orbit, as always. Some progress and success, yet also challenges and despair. As is nature and life, there was lots of happiness, sadness, joy, pain, suffering and every emotion in between. The higher the highs, the lower the lows.
