Hands Of Time

It is still early in this "the year of change" and I can not help but to feeli a sense of 'reluctant momentousness.' After all this is my first post of a web log that will cover subjects that can only be defined as solemn.

Thomas Paine wrote about a crisis in his time saying "These are the times that try men's souls" however in 1776 few men would have cared to wonder that such a time would come again. I contend we are in an age of ignorance.

The ignorance lies in that, while the hands of time move ever so slowly, all we want is to rush progress; and while there is so much that we need to achieve as a people, a nation, a world, it might be best if we slow down, discern and communicate; otherwise what must be done won't be fully realized.

I have little hope though that we will or can slow dowm; because no matter how much the world seems to be out of balance, many would say: when was it ever truly balanced.

So, for those who doubt the need or even sincerity of my writing, I ask that you honestly try a small simple test. Turn on the news on your radio, see it on the web or actually watch it on your tv set. Stop, look, listen. Then see if you don't see what I see. If you don't notice the unusual nature and the unpredictable frequency of human and natural events. If you do not, then my posts are probably not going to be of much interest to you. If you however, do see what I see (if you are the type to care or wonder) then make a discerned comment and be sure to follow us here ...and please let us be the 'last read' in your list... I promise not all the posts will be ""passionate poetrix"" or ""harbingering doom.""
