"When faced with a radical crisis, when the old way of being in the world, of interacting with each other and with the realm of nature doesn't work anymore, when survival is threatened by seemingly insurmountable problems, an individual life-form or a species - will either die or become extinct or rise above the limitations of its condition through an evolutionary leap."
by Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth.
What a great paragraph. I have always been one for the leaping.

Hey it's a little late to make resolutions but...
This year - I will
1. Do something about things that make me unhappy.
2. Not sweat the small stuff.
The thing about moving forward is to never to look back, and I have figured out that it is because if you did, you'd be terrified to see the things you're leaving behind.
Feel your cells.
I am apprehensive, excited, in my zone, out of my league, all at the same time.

What If
Two totally unrelated topics, but what if:
1. For one day, all of us knew how we really felt about each other. The complete realisation of what you are as perceived by the other person. Parents and children, husbands and wives, boyfriends and girlfriends, bosses and subordinates, friends and enemies and everything in between. Do you reckon we'd be better people for it?
2. The peace we have now in this country is at a stage where it is coincidental, that every day where nothing happens to you is because someone has not decided to commit a crime where you are? That really, the safety support system is no longer much more than the impression that there is one?
