On a ship at sea: a tempestuous noise
Tomorrow at noon the world will change. A bright new dawn. The sun won't stop in it's course, the veil in the temple won't be sundered, cancer won't be suddenly cured, your internet connection won't be faster, and McDonald's hamburgers won't be any more healthy to eat. But the world we step into will be different that the world we woke to (well, most of us).
The end of a world is also coming. Once the threshold of a paradigm is crossed, it can never be re-crossed, it can only be lost. History is a harsh mistress.
And everything will look normal. Except I expect to see more smiles tomorrow than I did today. And that is a start.
What has taken nearly a decade to destroy, will take almost as long to rebuild. It will take a lot of work. My sleeves are already rolled up, how about yours?
"Come senators, congressmen please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside and it is ragin'."
-Bob Dylan
O brave new world that has such people in't!
