The picture I chose to display is meant in both fun and reflection. I do not worry what the Mayan culture thought or meant nor that of what current "archaeologists" think. But rather, I do care what current day humans think about and act in our own society and culture (or lack thereof), as this is what will determine our collective future.
As we reflect on the past year and contemplate the next be it personal, national or international I ask God that we as people remember that we are all human no matter where on His Earth we reside and remain with His Gift of Free Will and use it very, very carefully.
Okay, I will admit both of those tunes no matter who performs them bring tears to this mans' eyes.
Could it be that I have achieved yet another year on this rock we humans call Earth? Sure.
But the main reason are the one's who gave me life, my parents through the Grace of God, and who gave me two Brothers, taught me how to love with humility, act with intelligence and pepper it all with good natured humor. Those thoughts along with those very familiar sounds bring tears of Joy not to mention my Bride and Daughter without which I just may not have made it this long!
(Cough)
As to the implied question proposed in my blog title, well I follow the preceding with the same artist, Andr'e Rieu with an answer,,,
I thank all for your friendship and wish all a very Healthy and Happy New Year of our Lord 2012 !
On a personal reflection of this past year if I may,,,
