Signs

When we become oblivious to signs that things are changing, numb to the pain that changes might bring, and cavalier enough to pretend that we are superior and therefore invulnerable, we stand in the shadow of darkness.

I do not believe that there is a single one of us who is happy with the world as it is, or the place in which we individually find ourselves today. All of us want for more. It is only in the things that we want that we differ. Regardless of these surmises, all we have to seek is the knowledge that the world and the basics of our existence are changing; we need to analyze how these changes are going to affect us today and our children in the future.

Some change is subtle. Nevertheless, all change is discernible if properly examined.

Global warming is no longer fiction; the facts seem to indicate that we are on a collision course with human disaster. And, although I'll be called a lunatic for saying so, visits from extraterrestials have been too numerously recorded to be ignored; they portend some inevitable change to our lives and very existence.

There are countless other signs of daily change that we ignore or fail to see.

Neither my message nor point is elusive. We must become attuned to the world around us and to the changes that are occurring, to determine our future, to lay plans to be prepared for it. Otherwise, we will be to blame for whatever it is that will happen.
