2012: Year of New Consciousness?

Lest we get too excited about what 2012 might portend, consider Ecclesiastes 1:9...

"The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun."

I would like to think that human beings will come out of this coming year with a better love for one another, a higher consciousness, and a unity of spirit that will take us to a higher plain.

But we must remember that we are not God nor any kind of god. We are just people. We are imperfect and sinful and rather than wishing we were otherwise, we should each try to make the best of it for ourselves and those around us.

I find that a happy challenge, not a disappointment... and I'm glad to be around for another year of seeking perfection even if I know I'll never achieve it.

So happy new year!
