Buon Natale

“I wish you endless dreams 

and the furious desire to realize some of them. 

I wish you to love what must be loved, 

and to forget what must be forgotten. 

I wish you passions. 

I wish you silences. 

I wish you birdsongs as you wake up

and children’s laughter. 

I wish you to respect the differences of others, 

because the worth and virtues of each person often remain to be discovered. 

I wish you to resist the stagnation, the indifference,

and the negative values of our time. 

I wish you at last to never to give up the search, for adventure, life, love. 

For life is a wonderful adventure

and no reasonable person should give it up without a tough fight. 

I wish you above all to be yourself, proud of being and happy, 

for happiness is our true destiny.”

(Jacques Breil)
