    But we are awaken now. It is never to late to wake up and understand. Maybe there is no turning back (not maybe, for sure in fact) but there are periluous times ahead and only if we wake up now we can deal with it, we can breathe with it because it’s not about what we are doing to our world or what our world is doing to us – it’s what we’re in this world going throught… changes not only by our fault but because of universal events ant time beyond time…and, we breathe at this time, whitnessing the change around us – AND IN US! we watch “our world” evolve and transform
