Do you remember how you felt at the beginning of this year – with Christmas behind you and the darkness of early January closing in? Many people just wanted to “hunker down” and rest, recuperate from the holidays, and regroup. That was 260 days (one Tzolk’in cycle) ago, and here we are again, working with the same energies for the Read the full article…

In the UK over the past year there has been a considerable amount of pageantry.

You remember how this year began – with the world pining for relief from the debilitating torment of the “former guy” in the White House, eagerly awaiting Joe Biden’s inauguration as the new president of the U.S., and anxious to see how he was going to grab hold of the reins to help subdue and eradicate the pandemic, which was Read the full article…

Shutdowns, stoppages, outages – the “darkness” of the last trecena played itself through in many different ways, from the shutdown of the U.S. government, to the horrific typhoon in China that affected four million people, to the blizzards and storms in the U.S. Midwest and Northeast that triggered widespread blackouts, to the nationwide shutdown of cell phone service in Canada, Read the full article…

“I Have a Dream” – those were the words that rang out again and again as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his momentous speech from a podium at the foot of Lincoln Memorial.

As mentioned in the post on the topic of the Kab’an trecena, 11 Manik’ (the date of this Sept. 14th post) is U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s Maya birthday.
