Learning Curve

I am proud of the fact that I was substantially ahead of the curve in making certain predictions about the upcoming state of the world

in many cases, I outlined events in very concise detail 5-10 years (or more) in advance

and even though at the time I took a bit of "heat" for what I had to say (as there was not a frame of reference readily available for most people in which they could easily consider or understand what I was saying), 

for me, the process has been a positive one

learning how to "roll with it" all was a valuable lesson for me

and hopefully my cries in the wilderness did some good, as well

now is the time to move into a new gear -- recognizing that our spiritual and social evolution obligates us

to find solutions that embrace possibility, rather than stay divided over small sometimes petty differences

of course there are people who politically cause my eyes to roll and my blood pressure to rise

but to fight is not the solution

of course, not standing up for what is "right" is also not the solution

to me, this suggests we must work to elevate ourselves

change yourself for the better and the world is also changed for the better

if this is contagious, then it won't be long before things improve

I expect them to improve; it is both my hope and my prediction
