Three cords twine forever.
The circle of Heart’s flower,
The sphere of Gaia’s breath,
with
Light from planetary movement. More >

Interestingly enough,
Rapa Nui – Easter Island in the South Pacific
is on almost exactly the opposite side of the globe
from the sites in present day Pakistan of
the ancient cities Harappa and Mohenjo Daro.
Easter Island is at 27.07 S and 109.22 W.
Mohenjo Daro is near present day Khairpur at 27.32 N and 68.46 E
Harappa is near present day Kamalia at 30.44 N and 72.39 E More >

Where have we come from?
Where are we going?
How far back do we wish to inquire?
How far forward would we like to imagine?
When we stepped out of the trees onto the savannah?
When we noticed the stars turning in circles over our heads?
When we discovered the voicing of words and sentences with one another?
We know that we now stand on the threshold of global population adjustments the likes of which we can only begin to fathom. The machinery of selfishness, money and war is effecting critical side-effects on environmental chemistry and biology. One can imagine that the members of the human community who are furthest removed from urban configurations would have a better survival quotient, although ultimately, who becomes left may just as well be a function of relative pure chance. Various timelines of astronomical, economic, climatological, demographic, and half-life phenomena are presented to the emerging generation to consider during the steps we will be taking into tomorrow. There is a legacy to carry which reaches far back into our ancestral homes. The answer is to the question of what it means to be human? What are we?

“The religion of personal salvation is eclipsed by a faith whose question and answer are matters of order in the universe. Religion of that kind can crack your mind open the way lightning splits a pine, leaving the wind to howl through the scorched divide.”

Good Wishes for the New Year 2004
and Blessings for NCN,
From the spirit of Saraswati.
[link]
“She was also called Smirtishakti (the power of memory), Jnanashakti (the power of knowledge), Kalpanashakti (the power of forming ideas) and so on. Saraswati is thus directly linked to the peculiar attribute of conscious thought that has humans classified as Homo sapiens, the thinking animal that knows it thinks. It is therefore rather reassuring to think that as we enter the Knowledge Age, there is a Goddess of Wisdom still out there waiting for us to receive her infinite gifts.” More >

The planet turns through its Saros,
And the eclipse of the sun returns
to not exactly but near enough to
where it was fifty-four years before.
From a place near the center of the great continent of Africa-Eurasia,
to a third of a way around the globe
eighteen years later,
to a place another third of the way around the globe
another eighteen years later,
to another place in north Africa
near its previous visit,
eighteen years later.

Across the wide Pacific,
With the ancient seafarer.

Canon in D major.
Through our Solstice.
