More Good News.

It’s 2006 and I find myself not resolving anything but to be the bearer of good news; The Good News and good news in general. If you’ve watched enough news last year, or just managed to temporarily escape from your cave, you may have begun to wonder if the world was on the verge of ending. Between the Tsunami, earthquakes, mudslides, wildfires, floods, hurricanes, and good old fashioned bombings, it would seem that we were about to go not so gently into that good night.

Did the world end? Not yet. However, I do think we as a world are in a unique period of time unlike any other in recent history, where things as we know and understand them have radically changed. There is a certain feeling in the air that we are beginning to reach the neighborhood of critical mass, where if we as humans continue to progress in our current direction, things will inevitably give.

This is not all about gloom and doom. After all, we are all going to be dead 150 years from now barring some miracle. We have all seen, heard, or known death in one form or another, so we ought to accept endings as a reality of life.

The good news is that with endings are beginnings. The war must eventually end and give way to peace of some sort. The body though without a medicinal cure eventually defeats the common cold. And the chrysalis becomes the butterfly. It is all a matter of what you believe and how that belief sustains you in the inevitability of the end in whatever forms it may come. For no matter what you believe you must acknowledge a beginning.
