The
eighteenth Trecena is governed by Ik’, the Wind. The Wind is the breath of
spirit, of communication, of connection… indeed, of Life itself, for Life is
the greatest communicator there is.
To
communicate is, in its most simple essence, to be connected. To be connected,
in turn, does not necessarily mean spending your life on social networks or
talking on the phone… it means to be actively present, in your mind body and
soul, and to be aware of others, other living beings, the natural
environment, your family and community, and of yourself. Communication may be
verbal, visual, auditory, kinetic, sensual, emotional, psychic or spiritual.
And
so regardless of whether you think you are a good communicator or not, if you
quiet those external communication tools that society and the marketing
machines of our economy bombard us with on a daily basis, and tune into those
finer, subtler frequencies, you may find yourself communicating on a much
higher and deeper level.
Ironically,
Wind is as fickle as it is strong… it can change direction on a moment’s
notice, but if you are aware and tuned in, you will notice those signs and
hints of change that can be short-lived, ephemeral in fact, but tell of major
shifts to come.
This
Trecena is not the time for control or rules. It is a time of fluidity,
experimentation, and open-mindedness. Indeed, if you are one with the Wind,
you will experience a different kind of freedom!

By
now, most of us have heard the news about a previously
little-talked-about volcano in Iceland called Eyjafjallajokull, a word that
is nearly impossible to pronounce but one that is at the center of a major
disruption of air traffic and all of its related consequences throughout the
European region.
When we asked how are people doing in those
areas affected by the ash cloud that’s slowly wafting across Europe, the
responses were almost equally split between an introspective look at how we
relate to mother Earth and what the eruption means in terms of our evolution
as a species.
Some
interpret this event as a sign of things to come in 2012, while others
welcome the longed-for reprieve from air travel noise and pollution across
their skies. One of our friends, Barbara Swoboda who runs the Mayan Calendar web site Indalosia in Germany,
writes,
Dear
friends around the world,
As
yesterday the volcano in Iceland broke out for a second time, the cloud of it
has reached Germany and my little village as well. It feels a little spooky,
because it gives me the thought of what the Mayan Prophecies are telling us -
72 hours without sun. I think, it is like a ding-dong of the PreWave ahead …
of the Conscious Convergence on 17-18 July 2010. For tomorrow (13 Imix), the
weatherman is announcing sunny weather, time for grilling and cultural events
and a really happy day. Tina Turner will give a Live Concert on rememberance
of the CultTimes in music. So... we are celebrating the good-bye from past
times... while moving into the celebration of a new level of Evolution into
the 9th wave.
And
so, as we enter Earth Week here in the US, with Earth Day on April 22 (5
Cimi), perhaps we can all think about our relationship to the planet and its
natural ecosystems that support not just ours, but ALL life this side of the
galaxy.
