Thank you for your thoughtful reflections, Pena.
It is indeed rewarding to realize that so many of the fellow travelers who accompany us along the way are tuned to the same wavelength as we are and that in this healthy atmosphere one gets a generous share of affection and empathy.
"And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make", as the bards from Liverpool tell us.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
