The chatter and gripes of the mass mind and ego are evident but there is little doubt of greater awareness than in recent history.

7+ billion people live in peace on a daily basis - with only a scant few still acting out violence and separation. The media and press seem desperate to create ratings with sensational, non-journalistic hysteria.

True, we have given our power to corporations and governments that still quest for ever greater control - amassing fortunes and attempting to take freedoms.

Yet, thinking back through just the past ten, twenty or thirty years, mass consciousness has evolved. Information is available now, especially through the internet, that had been little known throughout history.

Perhaps it's just the double espresso talking but today feels different - a palpable turning point - with subtle, beautiful and peaceful undercurrents.

May all beings be free from suffering.

May all beings live in peace.
