New Year Shift

Happy New Year. I have been recommended this link: theshiftmovie.com . At present they are looking for backers small and larger which may or may not appeal to you but it is worth keeping half an eye on regardless being a movie about the shift - or a shift - that many people see in all countries, in all sections of community: a significant change in how things can be done and a pressure to do them differently coming from ordinary people, most especially young people.

This certainly matches and sums up the spirit and energy that was present amongst the 'middle' and 'bottom' summits in Copenhagen. Being such a so far unique experience to get representatives from most nations of the earth in one place, perhaps it was the first time to feel the intensity of what is possible and what we can all be working for. An unmistakeable privilege and a time of great hope summed up at the end of the trailer for the film by one young leader who implies that enormous change seems inevitable now but whether it is primarily hopeful and good or negative and destructive depends on the choices and actions of every single one of us.

I think most of us have felt and known that for a long time but there is something about the spirit and energy of these past 2 - 3 years and the past 4 months or so particularly that do suggest that this shift is going in the right direction and "all will be well" however much our heads might worry that it cannot possibly be so. We need to trust and act and choose to flow with it for every body's sakes - together.
