-- TO MY FRIENDS --
To all of our friends
who are starting a new life
in a new environment:
the first great step towards building bonds of trust
is to give a warm and heartfelt greeting.
By initiating sincere exchanges
of heartfelt communication with others
may you become the very sun
that lights up your environment!
