DECEMBER

I am getting a late start. I had to run an errand this Morning. It was cold, almost 10 below zero F. I had to go out first thing and break the water for the chickens. The water, in the chicken coop, won't freeze until it gets below -5 F or so. It just had a thin layer of ice on it.

We had a great Thanksgiving. All six of my children and all but one of my grandchildren were here. We had a sumptuous feast. It took me all day Friday to get the dishes done. I wasn't any ball of fire. I would do a batch, do the chores, do another batch, take a break, do another batch, take another break and so on until late afternoon. It was about five o'clock when the last pot was scrubbed clean.

It seems like a long time ago now. Time is strange, it goes so fast and the past seems to become distant, fast too. Does that make sense? The days fly by and yesterday seems a long time ago. Yet, all of that is variable; sometimes a moment drags on. I think we are changing our orientation to time.

Time flies, except when we are waiting; it may then drag. Then it can do both at once. I don't know how that is possible. Yet, last Winter I was aware of time flying by faster than I had here-to-for experienced it, yet Winter lasted and lasted and lasted. I know it was a long Winter but my perception extended it.

This is a much earlier Winter than last year. I was still grazing my sheep last year at this time. Winter didn't hit us until the second week in December. This year, we have already had three weeks of Winter. I don't think we are going to have the grueling Winter we had last year. But then, I an not the world's greatest prognosticator.

As I said I am not great at prognostication, but I will go out on a limb and predict that this December will usher in lasting changes in our world. I would not be surprised if our banking system breathed its last gasp and was replaced with a new more functional system. I don't expect this to be accompanied by much chaos. The change will be applauded.

I also expect some significant change in global consciousness due to the revelation of knowledge that has been long suppressed.

In early January I will report back on these predictions.

I don't have much to say today. We are going to change the world by changing ourselves. Each one of us must love ourselves enough to become a dynamo of love overflowing on those around us. Things will change from inside out. First we must love ourselves, then those around us. Our communities will become more inhabitable. Our children happier. People will be freer. If we are willing to see everyone as a part of Source, at the core a being of light, no matter how confused and alienated from their real self they are at the moment, we will leap ahead in global consciousness.

Right at this moment we can bring paradise around us by envisioning it and insisting it be so. Any one of us can do that right now in our little sphere of influence; even if that sphere of influence is only inside ourselves.

Let all our decisions be made with love.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
