This time of year invites more than celebration.
It invites reflection — and resolve.
We pause not to measure perfection, but to recognise the distance already travelled. We look ahead knowing that meaningful work has no final destination — only continued commitment.
Peace is not something we arrive at.
It is something we practise.
Unity does not require agreement.
It requires relationship.
As we move into a new year, may we keep walking — together — committed to understanding, connection, and the patient work of building a world worthy of the next generation.
