The document discusses how the world ends and rebuilds constantly with each change or loss experienced. Major losses like the deaths of children and teachers in Connecticut can pulverize one's world, making rebuilding incredibly difficult. However, the author notes that through connecting and reconnecting with themselves and others, they were able to rebuild an even better world after their own experiences of loss. They wish their dear friends who help populate this new world a wonderful new year.

3. So I guess they postponed the show of the Eons:
the End of the World. On December 22 everything
was just like the day before.
4. Actually, it did end. The World ends all the time.
Each time it ends, we die, together with things, places, people
and ideas we are familiar with. The next day we have to rebuild
it.
5. Some people are tragically unlucky and their world ends in such a way
that rebuilding anything is a herculean task. The parents and relatives of
the children and teachers murdered in Connecticut had their world
pulverized. Whatever they manage to rebuild will not resemble the world
they knew until December 14.
6. My world ended, and so did yours. My world ended
every time something very important changed in it.
Losses, deaths, injuries, separations but also
acquisitions and new experiences. They all ended my
world as I knew it.
7. Some of these changes were quite radical. Some losses were so hard
to get over that I stalled. I bet many of you went through quite a few of
those.
8. However, all these experiences – the good and the hurtful ones –
gave me the opportunity to build a better world out of the
remains of the old.
I rebuild my world by connecting and reconnecting.
Reconnecting with myself and the Iron.
9. Reconnecting and connecting with good
people and loved ones.
This year the world ended twice. The one
I rebuilt is the most beautiful I have lived
in.
And I did it with and because of YOU.
To the dear friends that people my New
World, I wish the most wonderful New
Year.
