Twenty
twelve is ending, we are preparing for a new year, brushing off our
planned resolutions. It is time to look back at our successes or
failures of 2012, or is it better to look forward? Do we really
learn from our mistakes, or do we simply make them all over again?
Hmmm..., maybe that's all too heavy to think about.
So
let's instead celebrate the dawning of a new year with hope and
cheer. As the only intelligent species on this Earth we are its
stewards, whether we like it or not. Each and every day we give
birth to our children, they to theirs, yet each generation shares a
responsibility in the inheritance that they leave behind. We share a
kinship with the trees and forests, all living creatures whether
roaming on land, flying the skies or swimming our waters. True we
are the intelligent ones that we have already established, yet we all
share the same needs. We all need fresh and clean air to breathe,
uncontaminated water to hydrate and sustain us, and nutrition from a
food supply regardless of its source that is not tainted with foreign
bodies. In the end our intelligence simply demands more from us.
Each
year we begin with the countdown for midnight and its minute after to
celebrate a sort of new beginning. True it is more symbolic then
real, heck we have been around a long time after all and have raised
those glasses at midnight often enough. Our resolutions promising
change or planned goals for achievement have become the same as the
ever fashionable tuxedo or the little black dress. Worn one night
and then hung in the closet, lonely and dark, forgotten till the next
dawning of new year's celebration.
It
is time to change and put on new clothes for the celebration and to
bring forth new resolutions, ones that demand our attention
throughout the coming year. That old tuxedo and little black dress
may of been comfortable for a long time but we have grown and no
longer fit into it. Our own intelligence demands that we recognize
the facts and evidence all around us for all of this is beneath our
true potential.
Today
is the dawning of 2013, lets put on new clothes, new resolutions to
welcome the new year. Let's make this new year a year of real change
towards a future that has promise and sustainability for our children
and their children's children. It is time we take our immense
intelligence to new heights and time to go back when our kinship with
all who share this earth was of equal value.
Man
truly is an intelligent species, our Earth simply needs us to prove
it. IT IS TIME.....!
