This morning I received this message from my friend who I only know through Simon McKay and reading his posts on twitter
From Anis Waiz

To my wonderful kind friend
Michaelmas Term
A Revelation
And so it is over. This time I know has gone. The Michaelmas term from the feast of Saint Michael the Archangel is soon to end. The greatest of all the Archangels, a protector against the dark of night, and honoured for defeating Lucifer .
From its commencement as the trees were stripped bare until the day of shortening hours. For now let the trumpets sound and music fill our ears.
And as the days shorten and we look to another term I reflect upon the ticking hand that long passage of time . The Joys and sorrows bestowed . Above all I see the utter kindness and the hand of friendship of strangers. In days of need when my table lay bare you have warmed my soul with the gift of humour, acceptance and above all humanity. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
At the feast I have nothing to offer but passion for law and music. That my blogs have been so well received is of utter sheer astonishment to me. Let me thank you.
I wish you and yours a very happy Christmas and New Year. May God bless you and your family .
From that great great nation. Cha bhi suaimhneas aig eucoir, no seasamh aig droch-bheairt. Wrong cannot rest, nor ill deed stand.
And so I proffer to you the hand of great friendship and peace. From my Band and from the heart these words
When we walk away from the storm’s roar
Then I will be afraid no more
And now I’m sure of where I stand
Let the strength of peace run through this land
A song from me to you and yours to warm your heart.
