Well here we go again; another new year takes its first infant steps. Nothing better than a fresh start eh? OK…maybe not so fresh but still, there is always a feeling of renewal that comes with every new year, don’t you think?… a reboot of our battered hopes that humankind will wise up fast enough to counter the onslaught of the utter freaking madness that fear on a rampage spawns.
Then, on the other hand, the rich are gettin’ richer, so what’s the problem?
Well, the poor are gettin’ poorer, that’s what… and the middle class is stressed to the max, acutely aware that most do not have enough cash to carry them for two weeks should an income dry up. And political life in the worlds most powerful, and therefore most dangerous, nation has degenerated to theatre of the absurd…no, not absurd…insane!
It all makes a highly volatile concoction set to explode should a couple of raging assholes rub too hard and make a spark.
When there is fear in the air people get afraid and they act and react as if they are fighting for their lives. Fear lashes out. It attacks blindly, cruelly, carelessly and stupidly. Bad things happen.
But on the other hand…
it seems to me that there is another more powerful energy extending itself in the world. Suddenly we have this new ability to share our stories, our hearts and our knowledge, to participate in everything. Our new tech is facilitating a great coming together of people from random tribes all over the world.
Minds are changing, hearts are opening, an awareness that new rules are in order is blossoming. New rules that allow for actual freedom, not enslavement to the dead idea that those who have for so long held the wealth of the world somehow have earned the right to absolute power.
We are beginning to imagine that we really are the creators of our experience… and that ultimately no experience is greater or lesser than another…that we are, indeed, each other and all others and thus there is no ‘other’.
A bit much to wrap ones head around without some serious contemplation…but hey, it sure feels good.
The world is a den of thieves and night is falling.
Get out your flashlights.
and Happy New Year!!
