living in historic times

Many historic events have taken place during my lifetime. Many of these Earth shattering events were of the negative sort. The common thread with the negative historic events was the suddenness, the abrupt change of mind set, change of direction. 9/11, the Kennedy and King assassinations, one day your life is one way, the next day everything has changed. Today’s historic event – the inauguration of Barack Obama -was two years in the making. It was more of an historic transition rather than an event.
Once again, I point to karma; one moment building on the previous moment, incremental changes in perceptions, slowly, methodically bringing us to today. And so tomorrow will build on today’s historic moment, incrementally changing perceptions, slowly, methodically bringing us into the future.
