According to several Mayan Calendar scholars, this is the last day! The calendar ends today. Tomorrow will be Day One of the the New Age. Do we get to name the new months? I would name the first month after my Grandson, Elijah, who loves calendars.
I know very little about the Mayan Calendar. I get my information from my brilliant wife, Jamie, who keeps up on nearly everything. Carl Johan Calleman is a good source of information. He believes the old age was characterized by dominance. The New Age is one of individual sovereignty. Cities represented dominance in the old age. He envisions a new age characterized by a network of interconnected villages.
I hope it is true! It fits my image of an ideal civilization. I have always wondered how cities would work in a well functioning, sane society. I could not imagine living in a large city for any length of time, but that is my prejudice; many people must love them. According to Calleman, cities were designed to dominate the countryside and the future will be without dominance.
It is an incredibly beautiful day! After I get my dishes washed, I am going to go out and do a little yard work. Or I might be overcome with Fall Fever and just enjoy the sunshine.
TGIF for you working stiffs. Have a good Halloween and Happy New Year.
Love and Peace, Gregg
