Here it is the first day of the newest and most recent world cycle, on the turning of the circular Mayan calendar. We get to start with a fresh new mindset today — let’s make it something beautiful! My new worldview is to envision a world where we slowly but steadily shed the various oppressions which made up the old worldview, like a snake sheds her skin and emerges glisteningly larger and stronger, shimmeringly iridescent, and gorgeously marked.<\/p>\n

Author Anne Primavesi explained to me about the concept of a “velvet” revolution: when you live in a far from ideal situation, but choose to live “as if” you were in an ideal situation. Gandhi said we must be the change we wish to see. Very well then: I will endeavor to express and live my life as if this is indeed the beautiful world I wish to live in.<\/p>\n

In my new worldview we are an egalitarian people of many colors, ages, shapes, sizes, and genders — all of which are a wondrous and appreciated expression of our marvelous diversity. We live in a lush and beautiful world which we understand and cherish as our life-gifting non-human family. We reach out to each other in joyous community, to share and give freely amongst ourselves because we understand we live in abundance and beauty. I shall live my best to make it so.<\/p>\n

What would you suggest adding to my worldview to make it better? What is your new worldview, that you’re going to live as well?<\/p>\n
