Your sunlit days mirror your golden hearts. Never have I felt more cared for, or more at home, than I do here.
My dears, thank you for hosting His Holiness with such love and mindfulness. For your incredible food and lively colors, your beaming smiles and boundless welcome. You have a way of making us feel like family.
It has been too long since last we spoke—ten years since Kuala Lumpur. I was but a boy then; how life has changed for me. You have not. It feels as though it were yesterday, only more so, as if we simply picked up where we left off.
You celebrate fifty years, a remarkable statement of devotion. Surely you must be proud, and deservedly so. I feel that devotion emanating from the very walls, like a living, breathing thing with a life of its own.
On ocean's sway or beneath city lights, this is a place of great beauty. Our journey here has only just begun.
Adventure awaits.
