What would you whisper as a wish for the dawning year?

I would wish that everyone in the world would wake up and be able to see clearly, objectively how selfishly we live on this fine Earth and how we are sickening it. If Gaia is a single organism then Global Warming is tantamount to her running a fever. It would be an unpleasant thing to wish people because it's not nice being told that you are a virus. (And if your belief in the Gaia Theory is true, you have to admit that it is a valid metaphor for us) However, we are self-aware so we can change into a beneficial virus, but to do that we first have to admit to our faults that they may be cleared out. This doesn't take leaders to organise, priests to validate or any community structure. It only needs you yourself to acknowledge that. Once a critical mass is achieved change will be inevitable.

So, Pilgrim, it is with a contrite voice that I make my wish, but know that it will be best for all in the long run.

May the new year bring you all the abundance and happiness you can handle.
