"If the world has not come to its end, it has approached a major turn in history, equal in importance to the turn from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance. It will exact from us a spiritual upsurge, we shall have to rise to a new height of vision, to a new level of life where our physical nature will not be cursed as in the Middle Ages, but, even more importantly, our spiritual being will not be trampled upon as in the Modern era. This ascension will be similar to climbing onto the next anthropologic stage. No one on earth has any other way left but -- upward."
Concluding remarks from Solzhenitsyn's address at Harvard....
As I read these words I can't help but think of the early warning systems in place to alert coastal areas of an incoming tsunami. I think we may be a bit beyond the early warning stage but in either case the wise begin to move, leaving behind habit and comfort for higher ground. The skeptic waits until it is to late and the fool stands on the shore, camera in hand waiting to see what happens next.
Are you moving? Handy next steps coming soon...
IHS,
Zach
