While this is not directly related to this post, I wanted to share with the Steady community the parting words of a retiring Philadelphia News anchorman. Mr Gardner's short speech at the end of his last broadcast is an eliquent defense of freedom of the press. He refers to dangers threatening this support of our democracy. Seemed important to reflection of the New Year.

Thank you for your encouraging words. I find this quote helpful as I step out into a New Year: “I would love to live like a river flows, carried by the surprise of its own unfolding.” John O'Donohue
