As conversations usually do, ours went in a different direction as we were discussing the timing of other panels. We talked about The 2012 Prophecy, a presentation by John Perkins, and what 2012 means. If you've been paying attention to Hollywood, 2012 means the end of the world.
I was talking to an 8th grade class last month and a student asked me,"Is it true? 2012?" I said, "What do you mean by 2012?" "You know," she said. "The end of the world." I told her and the class that every ending is a new beginning. You can chose to see the end, or you can chose to see the beginning.
My co-panelist Diane Ponder brought up the fact that when a group of people believe in something, they have the energy, the power, to make it happen - good or bad. And my other co-panelist Mimi Clayton said there are different ways of looking at the same thing. "Some people say 'emergency' and others say 'emerge and see!'"
The Chicago Green Festival, May 14th and 15th at McCormick Place, offers many different ways to 'emerge and see.' From national and international keynote speakers, to local folks making a big difference in your neighborhood, businesses to non-profits and everything in between. Chicago Green Festival is an event full of ideas, action, and inspiration. (See guide here.)
How do you perceive our future? A positive transformation into a new world of collaboration and harmony. Emerge and See.
