Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger, Must ask permission to know it and be known. The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. If you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here. No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren. If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you. ~From Traveling Light: Collected and New Poems by David Wagoner. |
If the Internet connects us with the outer world of information, why not an Indranet, that connects our inner lives, and keeps the souls of us shining brightly? |

We are pleased to announce that Terry Laszlo-Gopadze's book, The Spirit of a Woman has won a prestigious Nautilus Award. With a Foreword by Angeles Arrien, the book is a collection of stories by women who have faced challenging circumstances in exceptional ways that have transformed and expanded their lives. They open up to life and see opportunities in places they never expected, learning to trust the process rather than the outcome. Obstacles become doors, anger becomes trust, and loneliness is displaced by a sense of unity with others and with the cosmos. I was privileged to work as an editor on the project and to have a story in the book. |
2012 and the Venus transit of the Sun June 6, 2012 |
For two decades I have been studying the Quetzalcoatl myth and its relation to the end of the Fifth Sun in the Mesoamerican calendar. (Quetzalcoatl was Kukulkan to the Mayans.) I would like to share with you some of the material I have written on this. The first is an informal work written before the first Venus transit in 2004. The second is an unpublished academic paper in which you will find all of the sources carefully cited. I think you will find that it adds a profound dimension to the meaning of the calendar date 2012, which was of such importance throughout Mesoamerica as the end of the 5125 year era of the Fifth Sun and the birth of a new age. The links are below. |
