Props to Canada, Elected Justin Trudeau and Ushering in a New Age

What might a Liberal cabinet look like? - Politics - CBC News

This helps North America immediately!

A tired, old, conservative, oil-stained conservative Harper -- out, after 10 years. 10 fairly ugly years in my eyes.

A new, fresh, liberal hopeful PM in Justin Trudeau. If he gets his ship in order, and gets with technology and clean energy and shows up in Paris with climate cuts and a progressive package -- I'm celebrating the universe.

He is more multi-cultural than Harper, he has promised to tax the top 1-2% to give tax breaks to the middle class (WE need this in the USA), he is pro-marijuana legalization, he ran a positive camapaign -- the only non-negative ad running campaign I'm told -- this guy is a fresh, new generation leader. Please resist the Keystone XL Mr. Trudeau, modernize your economy, helps us all move forward.

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.
