We don't have another lifetime to wait - 350 - SIGN PETITION - Politicians must fall in line, we need a future of 0% FOSSIL FUELS 100% RENEWABLES BY 2050"

We don't have another lifetime to wait - 350 SIGN PETITION to POLITICIANS IN PARIS

"WE CHOOSE SURVIVAL! Politicians must fall in line, we need a future of 0% FOSSIL FUELS 100% RENEWABLES BY 2050"

Funny,
but not signing this I guess we choose extinction? Funny species, ours.
Haha. My friend says our species just like to party. In Slapshot, the
wife says, 'Well, you can only drink so much, and screw so much!' Haha.
Smart gal. Guess we look for funny pictures of cats after that. Or other
things to immediately stimulate the pleasure centers of our brain,
relating to gratification and living, and not spending too much (or a
lot) of time on survival and longer term planning. I understand this but
not entirely, a little like Spock. The kids in Venice spend $12-14 on
glasses of wine at most of the restaurants here now! I wonder if any of
them save money; we can't afford to do that, and we're not kids. Oh
well. Sigh. Party on Wayne... live for today... carpe diem.... #eldersshouldknowbetter #buddhismanddetachment #goodintentionsanddetachfromresults #wearenotthewindandwearepartofit

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.
