I toast you all tonight
at this seasonal gathering
never forget this bond
that ever unites our spirits
now everyone drink deeply
this rich wine of friendship
may it ever warm your hearts
and lift your spirits high
to a place of peace & beauty

This is the kind of sentiment we can all relate to, that appeals to everyone, yet…look at the world and the way we actually behave! Is it a mystery or just human hypocrisy?
Human beings are a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a contradiction Jane — I just grit my teeth and shake my head… and do my best to be kind.
A wonderful toast, Rob!
Thank you Kim! 😉

Apologies I am so late to the reading…have not even posted for Tuesday or Thursday. But — this absolutely made me smile! So glad to read this Rob. And how perfect…a toast given at the Pub. In so many ways, even though I’ve never met folks, I feel a kinship and friendship with dVerse folks. There is a sharing in words and thoughts….a vulnerability we afford to each other. And so, right back at you….I toast you tonight, Rob. A kindred spirit indeed!
Thank you for joining in the toast Lillian, andthe kind words you offered! 🙂
A beautiful toast Rob! I hope your holiday time has been wonderful. Thank you so much for putting an icon for the muse on the side of your blog! Cheers and Happy New Year to you and yours!
