Good content and great reminders we will have a heck of a genetic bottleneck going forward. Think we are encountering the massive weight of denial those affected will display as they try to grieve.

Somehow the sense of change is around us today. We can question the meaning of "Head Girl" -that is- the sanctity of the bureaucracy! We are in a limnal space as David Spangler writes.

Liminal space is the threshold between two states, neither fully here nor fully there but somewhere in transition. For someone in such a space, a “liminalite,” it can be an exciting place, full of novelty and opportunity, and it can be a terrifying place as well. The familiar and the old are falling away but the new hasn’t taken shape yet. Promise and peril seem equally possible.

All around us, if we look, we can see the seeds of a new consciousness, a new way of being in the world, beginning to appear, taking root, forming sprouts. Some are more robust than others; some, like the seeds in Jesus’s parable, have fallen on inhospitable soil and others on fertile soil.
