So we
are still here! The world didn’t end on Friday, Christmas came and went and I have
to say that even though I didn’t expect to meet my maker last week, a part of
me did wonder if there would be some kind of manifestation of lack of Mayan calendar!
A bigger swell than usual perhaps or a global hiccup…mass awakening maybe! Am I
a little disappointed? Well let’s say that I bought my 2013 Moleskin with a
little more fervor than usual.
And I have nothing planned for New Year!
If there’s
no automated rise in consciousness planned anytime soon, perhaps it’s time to
manifest my own. I think that on a subconscious level I had my eye in 12/21/12
and now I have my eye on me! There is a growing movement toward looking to our
forefathers for a way forward. We look to the Native American Indian prophecies
such as the Rainbow Warrior story:
Some time in the future, the Indians said,
the animals would begin to disappear. People would no longer see the wolf, or
the bear, or the eagles. And, the story goes, the giant trees would also
disappear. And people would fight and no longer love one another. And
the beautiful rainbow in the sky would fade away; people would not see the
rainbow anymore.
Then children
would be born into the world. And these children would love the animals, and
they would bring them back. They would love trees, and they would bring them
back too. And these children would love others and they would bring peace to the world. And these children would love the rainbow, and they would
bring back the beautiful rainbow in the sky. For this reason the Indians called
these children the rainbow warriors.

We look
to calendars, ancient texts, documents channeled from the infinitely wise for some
guidance on this un-signposted path we tread. And sometimes we find the wisdom
we seek and sometimes it sheds a little light on our cloudy road, but you know when
someone else is holding the torch for you at night down a winding path to your
car? You can see, but the light is always a little off center. And it’s
irritating because you’d really rather be the one holding the light! You’re
thinking that what you need is a light that comes from you! These incredible
sources of valuable insight can only inform us on direction finding, in the
end, the path is ours to walk. And if I am the one shining, then that light is
perfectly positioned for me! So today I choose to cultivate a brighter light to
find my way by, a light so bright that I can see the fork up ahead, or a shear
drop! I don’t really see this as a post-Armageddon resolution, there’s another
end of the world coming in March anyway! I see this as a renewed perspective on
a methodology I already try to employ and I’m excited by it!
