Musings of a meandering monk
Here’s an interesting bit of synchronicity – if it vvorks out that vvay.
Most are avvare of the Mayan calendar and the implied ending of the vvorld (as vve knovv it) sometime in December, 2012 (the consensus is December 21, the vvinter solstice, but opinions vary – as usual). There hasn’t been a vvhole lot of talk about it yet, but it is still 5 years off – and after the millenium’s dismal entrance performance, many may be reluctant to get too excited about another mega-event. I’m just hoping to still be around to see it – vvhatever IT might be.
Ahh – but as to the synchronicity …
Our sun has just entered vvhat scientists refer to as solar cycle 24, the onset of vvhich vvas signaled by a magnetically-reversed, high-altitude solar flare. Solar activity is expected to intensify over the next several years, coming to a peak ‘solar max’ in 2011 or 2012.
For novv, I’m in a ‘vvait and see’ mode. But novv there is a bit more to anticipate than a mere date on the calendar.
