may we...

... stay forever young



Apocalypse does not point to a fiery Armageddon but to the fact that our ignorance and our complacency are coming to an end…
What is the kingdom? It lies in our realization of the ubiquity of the divine presence in our neighbors, in our enemies, in all of us.

We're in a freefall into future. We don't know where we're going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you're going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along.
And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It's a very interesting shift of perspective and that's all it is...
joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes.
- Joseph Campbell, from Thou Art That and Sukhavati
