2008 Draws to a close

Kamál (Perfection), 13 Asma (Names), 165 B.E. – Monday, September 1, 2008 about 3:50 AM Pacific Time

There are four months left in 2008 and this election year will end. We will have a new president sworn in January 2009. Each year seems to pass more quickly then the one before. Time moves swiftly like an ocean tide coming into shore. The tide comes in bringing starfish to the shore line. The tide goes out leaving many of those same starfish stranded on the beach.

We are living in an age of transition. Our descendant will look back on the 21st centaury and wonder at the events. They will ask why we took the actions we took. They may even ask why we elected the politicians we did. They will be living in a world culture, whose foundations we are constructing today. They will be living in a world at peace with itself, a world that is united despite the difference of culture and religion.

Our descendants will see humanity as a diverse and single species. The differences of color, religion, nation and political opinion will still be present, but our descendants will view these things from a completely different perspective. Our descends will have more important things to worry about then fighting over small differences.

Our descendants will confront global warming, even more so then we do today. Our descendants will confront issues of planetary colonization. One way we can assist our descendants, our great grandchildren and their grandchildren, is to leave behind our thoughts saved in journals and burned onto CDs.

Our descendants will have technology, but the technology will be more advanced that what we have today. We need to leave something for them that will help them understand the world we live in and why we made the decisions, we made.
