I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.
What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.
Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?
Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.
Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)
Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.
But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)
Still we are finite on this ride.
It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.
For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.

To Whom It May Concern:
I hope India meets its solar power goals by 2020.
And I also hope it never stops letting firms compete for power contracts.
I also hope that they can keep the solar panels dust free in India - a big job!
And I really hope they stop doing business with China. The labour is slave - no two ways about it.
What would Nikola Tesla say about this article regarding India getting its solar power juice on?
Well, read this article about the current state of free power:

I really wish that the New York Times would write at least one little article about at least one of these alternative and free power sources.
Again, I hope India can keep those solar panels dust free past 2020!
All the best,

Here's an article on how mainstream science tries to discredit free, or otherwise, power.
This article cites cold fusion, first discovered in 1989. India would not need solar power, the U.S. would not need Coal, Nuclear, or Oil power, etc.

Read it and weep.
What a world it would be with unlimited free power!
