Oh, Maya, Maya!

Yes, the title above seems to take the lighthearted view of the coming date that looms just ahead - December 21, 2012.  I have written about in an earlier post.

But try this on for size: the prophesy is very vague and perhaps it can all be seen as a positive and a leap forward for our human species.  How?

Thanks to lots of coverage online, we can all look about for various takes on the prevailing topics of our time.  The Mayan calendar having no progression beyond 12/21/12 has brought great fear and foreboding to many in our world.  A refreshing take on the subject is available at a blog site called The Token Skeptic in an interview with a professor in Australia.  I clicked on to the audio embedded and was pleasantly surprised to hear the astute and up-beat coverage of the subject by Dr. Gelfer.

Out of respect for my son and his preparation (mostly mental and emotional) for the coming date, I thought it incumbent upon me to look into it a bit more.  The Gelfer predictions made me very glad to have made the effort.  If you know anyone who has made comments of a serious nature regarding the Mayan calendar and the coming Dec. 21st "deadline," you just may want to listen to the audio mentioned here.  And maybe share Dr. Gelfer's views on the matter.

It's a quite amazing age in which we live.  What more can we make of life?  For my part, the act of connecting to the world via online chatter and contacts will continue to expand.  Beginning on 12/22/12, my focus will be on those bits of human accomplishments and attitude adjustments that may show that yes, in fact, we are experiencing a new world - the new day that follows successfully on the heels of the date that was predicted by many to bring the end of life as we know it.  This positive angle is fun to contemplate and will be delightful to witness following doomsday!
