happy apocalypse
2012-Dec-21, Friday 12:16 amHave a happy apocalypse!
Even if today is the proper day for the cycling of the Mayan calendar (there is some minor disagreement), it's merely the "turning over" of the odometer. It's nothing special to the universe at large, only to the human brain that insists on finding metaphorical meaning in every small detail of its experience. It's the same misplaced excitement that we faced on 2000 January 01 for those of us following the Julian calendar. There is no need to panic.
On this winter solstice day, I prefer to hope for real change... the kind of change that determined minds work to create in the world.
Have a happy solstice day. The long winter nights will now shorten, and the sun will rise higher in the sky. (Well, it does if you live in the northern hemisphere.) I hope the growth of light and warmth will inspire work on new projects for building a happier future for everyone.
