the ridgepole is shattered.
The mind has become freed from conditioning:

There’s so much other food out there that doesn’t have to involve you in that cycle of pain and death.” ~ Zack de la Rocha

At the end of the day, peace is an investment; it is something you create by investing in a way of life and monitoring where your resources go.” ~ Noeleen Heyzer

Now, I don’t think we need to wait that long, and we certainly shouldn’t wait that long. At the moment, we are not on a sustainable path.” ~ Edgar Mitchell

And then you’re returned to your world with an enlarged sense of its possibilities.” ~ Frank Gohlke

One senses the slow breathing of the earth.” ~ Juhani Pallasmaa

Mayan Day-keepers view the Dec. 21, 2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of the Fifth Sun.

- “I’m certainly not an expert and I imagine I’ll spend my life figuring it out. What I do know, is that you can’t take it all on yourself: find amazing people to collaborate with, build a team, and support other people doing the same. When you share your goals and ambitions with other people and they share with you, you exist in an energizing cycle of always creating new things with people that believe in you.” ~ Karlie Kloss
-

- “I guess I’m like any other concerned father, except that nobody else’s son guns a cycle over 17 pickups without holding on to the handlebars.” ~ Evel Knievel
- “Literary history and the present are dark with silences . . . I have had special need to learn all I could of this over the years, myself so nearly remaining mute and having to let writing die over and over again in me. These are not natural silences–what Keats called agonie ennuyeuse (the tedious agony)–that necessary time for renewal, lying fallow, gestation, in the natural cycle of creation. The silences I speak of here are unnatural: the unnatural thwarting of what struggles to come into being, but cannot.” ~ Tillie Olsen
-

-

- “Our best long-term and intermediate cycles suggest another slowdown and stock crash accelerating between very early 2014 and early 2015, and possibly lasting well into 2015 or even 2016. The worst economic trends due to demographics will hit between 2014 and 2019. The U.S. economy is likely to suffer a minor or major crash by early 2015 and another between late 2017 and late 2019 or early 2020 at the latest.” ~ Marc Faber
- “In the Gaia theory air, water, and soil are major components of one central organism, planet Earth. What we typically think of as life – the plants and animals that inhabit the earth – has evolved merely to regulate the chemistry of the biosphere. Humans are insignificant participants, far less important to the life cycle than termites. Even the imbalance that we have created by adding massive quantities of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere may be brought back to acceptable levels by other organisms functioning in their capacity to correct excesses.” ~ David Easton
