Friendship

Bob Lovett asks: How has love flourished in your life this past year?

by Bob Lovett 23rd December 2016

Over recent years the approach of Christmas has caused me ever-increasing emotional turmoil. The focus of our celebrations has always been based on a sense of the miraculous, from the birth of Jesus to the myths of Father Christmas. Each, in their own way, is seen to bring joy to the world – a celebration of gifts and, in particular, the precious gift of childhood itself. I think my turmoil stems from feelings of loss and feelings of anger – a potent mix for inner turmoil.
