December 21, 2012 Every Day, Every Moment

It occurs to me that December 21st, 2012
  awaits at our doorstep.

And where stand we
  on this momentous occassion?

When we open the door
  and greet this new age,
  What garmets will we don?
  How shall we introduce our selves?
  What words of greeting shall
    pass from our lips?

For really,
  it matters not
  whether it is the dawn of a new age
  or the death of a civilization
  or....any of the other realities
  prophesied.

It matters, finally,
  what we,
  each of us,
  do
  in response to
  whatever is presented
  to us.

It matters who we aspire to be.

It matters what values will guide us.

It matters whether we decide to live
  outside of fear.

And, in a very real sense,
  it matters not on which day
  we shall make these decisions,
  no more so on December 22, 2012
  than on any other day of our lives.

For each breath that we take,
  each decision that we make,
  every moment of every day,
  we are
  co-creating.

If the world ends,
  or if we ascend,
  or if the poles shift,
  or if we just go to work
  on December 22, 2012,

we are still challenged to answer the question
  of who we will be
  and what we will
  offer to life,

in that moment,
  and the next,
  and every moment thereafter.
