Things Look Bleak
This poster for a graphic design awards show reveals a lot about what is happening to the world. According to the the Mayan Calendar, their world, and ultimately ours is scheduled to end (or at least be affected by a cataclysmic event) on December 21, 2012 at 11:11 a.m. The Doomsday Clock has moved another two minutes to midnight and we are all closer to an earthly disaster. For all of us, things look bleak.
I have noticed a desperation lately that I have not felt in a long time. People working and working and pushing and pushing as fast as possible until there is nothing left. No energy, no life. I have been a victim of the same thing...and I am refusing to let it hurt me. I still hear birds and music, I still smell lemons and rosemary. I will live life to the fullest, to the end.
