Consecration of the house

December 31, 1987

On a composition of Beethoven Bring in the new year now that we have said good-bye to the past, with just a bow of reluctance, just one sigh.

Then let us give thanks, not looking back except with joy, for days and roads we walked,

for friends who shared, with open hearts, our time. We had our day. And look, a new one starts.
