In the future, there will be so many changes in so many things and ways of being that it will indeed be a new time. Some of us will not be here on earth, and some of us will be part of its evolution. How does one prepare for the future if it is so different that it is difficult to describe? The spirit remains ever faithful to that which it is and does not change based on time. Events, however, can change all. Natural disasters have devastating effects on people. Some are never the same. Yet, in spite of disasters and changing times, the code of doing for others remains. We learn as we grow and we grow as we learn. The new growth and learning will be handed down to the next generation and its influence felt. In the middle of change remain balanced in thought, word, and deed and strengthen yourself mentally and emotionally.
