time and a place and a purpose

The darkest hour of the year approaches as our planet follows the wobbly, oblong way to the tipping point, as if we were all together estranged from our own sun. Then at the last possible hour, we right ourselves to sail into the sea of another year's infinity.

This is the year to be. Just imagine how next year--2011--will be a replay of 1999, which should have been a year long party, like the Prince song. Outside the distraction of all the urgency of being "Y2K" ready, it was a good year or two if you were in the computer business.

The end of the Mayan calendar cycle of thirty thousand years at the end of 2012 is an excellent place to start over and this is a good thing to remember for perspective. Thirty thousand culturally documented years is a big thought drawn out in a glory of circles on some old stone somewhere in the jungle, so so long ago.

Now that we think of it, this is momentous enough to start early.
Cheers to 2010, because there is a good chance we will all fare as well or be better than in '09.

Some years stand out as excellent. Some years are annus horribilus. Some years seem to be about marking time.

This year could be the one that begins to break the mold. This could be the season of changing our minds--of clearing out the junk that does not belong in the here and now. The effort of naturally happy people will drive the toxins from our bodies and our lives. This emergent trend of doing it ourselves is the liberation that lifts us out of cubicles and bubble worlds.

No need to get nervous now--wiled away hours are allowed as we let the new wings dry.

Just say no to the obscure and leave it to sillier minds. Have some sympathy and tea, and hey--as the bold ones like to say, watch this.
