26,000 Years

(The countdown continues... )

At last night's fundraiser for Mario Torero & Horacio Jones' film, the Eagle and the Condor - which they will be filming atop Machu Pichu come Decmber 21st - a shaman out of Phoenix motioned to the Mayan calendario mural that decorates the Centro's west wall and shared some of the meaning of this now with us.  

"It isn't about the Mayans, the Aztecs, the Toltecs, the Olmecs, or about una raza," he said.  "It isn't about prophecies or doomsday's.  It's about being human - one race, one people, one corn made of four colors.  It's about remembering the harmony that is ours to vibrate and thrive within.  We don't know what the future is going to bring because it's the future," he emphatically stated.  "It's also about thousands of years of studies by a people who recognized a pattern that happens only once every 26,000 years."

"You must be up, before the sun, on the morning of December 21st, 2012, and you must greet its rising rays with your whole body because in this moment the Earth will be in alignment with the center of our galaxy - an event that happens only once in 26,000 years."  Passion oozing out of his rebellious nature, he spit at us, "Shame on you!  Shame on you if you let this moment pass by without your honoring it.  You must tell everyone, you must gather your children, you must not let this one-in-26,000-years experience pass you by."

 And, what if OUR LOVE, what if our relating, our connection, is also a once-in-a-26,ooo years event?  
What if our Souls were once again brought together in alignment after 26,000 years of being apart, of searching, of feeling alone, lost, confused, and isolated.  
WHAT IF?!?!
(And, what if we let ourselves remain asleep?  Then, shame on US for not seizing the moment and FULFILLING OUR DESTINY.)
