Equinox 2012
Once again, the sun has moved north across the equator
painting rainbows on the thatch through the crystal in the A-frame
it is the coming of winter,
the nights begin to carry the first memories of the cold dry season
but still it rains
2012 …
the wobble in our planetary axis
returns us to the same place we visited a 26 thousand year ago
the completion of some galactic cycle
and our solar system sails through the equator of our galaxy
in the slow timeless turning of the universe.
leaving us
to give meaning to the movement
doom or salvation?
or just the speeding up of everything that we know?
- because movement there is!
the global mind connects across the planet
through twitter and blog and skype
What is it we are thinking?
what are we seeing as the potential of this extraordinary experiment?
as we increase in our numbers and expectations
and economic planning
- busy borrowing from the future
have we lost connection to the place we began
the home which has supported our lives?
travelling blind into this new turn of the cycle
as if severed from the fire of our being
but cracks appear in the edifices of our belief systems
and the knowing-unthinking darkness born of our killing and greed
threads of survival?
a sense of holding?
a creative connection emerging alongside this chaotic crumbling?
New life continues to be born this morning
as if into an emerald
glowing with the luster of yesterday’s rain
flowers like fractals of rainbows
sung into being
