Christmas Day is for children; the season of Advent is for us all, be we religious or not. In the year to come, the lessons of Advent — principally, waiting — will be more important than we may know
Thank you for this beautiful column. One thing I've learned this year is that each of us has a role in shaping the present and the future. As one who faces 2025 with considerable trepidation about where our society will be next year, I remind myself, it is not the passive voice that I should embrace, "Where will I/we be?" but rather the more active, "Where am I/we going?"
May we each step into 2025 knowing that yes, we can do our small part to determine that destination and may we all join again, wiser and older and hopefully just as merry, in this space next year. Thank you again, Martin!
