Another photo from my cellphone – this morning there were no buds like this on the trees, but over the course of the day these developed, and some trees have even sprouted leaves – just today!

If I lived in another time, and followed a different calender, the spiritual leader or shaman would have probably pointed this out to the people so that planting could begin…

But then again, the people might have just celebrated the Solar New Year this last Sunday, February 22nd (that’s the date this year – it cycles around) – and he probably would have mentioned that we have entered the Year of the Manifestation of the Wind (the solar year began on 10 IK – IK means “wind” and is my day sign) on the Maya Tzolkin, or sacred calender which establishes the course of this next year – as things relate to the sun and solar events. Personally – I’d expect some very stormy events ahead – just watch the news over the next few months and see…

Of course, that would just be one of the pendulums of time he would be watching, and just a small part of a much bigger picture…

But we live in the modern rational world that gets very nervous around uncertainty, mystery and faith – so we wouldn’t listen to one of these wise men of old, even if he were to stand right in front of us…
