Thought for the Winter Solstice and the "Unend of the World"

The world didn't end, hysteria to a close, Now we wait for St Nick and Rudolph's red nose. Spend this day in gratitude with a future so bright, May your enjoy your holiday season and sleep peacefully tonight.

Poem for before "the end of the world" 12/20/12

If today were my last day, how would I spend it, with whom?

Would I go into the day with excitement and joy, or anticipate with tragedy and doom?

Would I spend most of the day regretting the moves I have made in my life up until now?

Or would I ponder the friends and the places I’ve been with gratitude, appreciation and “wow”?

Like winning the lottery, today is a day of speculation, a possibility of change,

I invite all of us to take a look at what we’ve created and choose tomorrow to re-arrange,

Anything that we may not enjoy or may not serve who we are being in this life,

That we use this gift that the Mayan’s have given to breathe, start tomorrow free of strife,

Of the doubts, the restriction and the rules we have placed on ourselves full of all of the “shoulds”

That we love one another, and shine our true selves to experience a world made for good.

Namaste.
