They call it zugunruhe. A pull of the soul to a far off place.
“When a change comes, some species feel the need to migrate. They call it zugunruhe. A pull of the soul to a far off place. Following a scent in the wind, a star in the sky. The message comes calling them to gather together in hopes they can survive the cruel season to come.”

Taken from Heroes
There is a movement. It is coming. Our world is changing and things are happening. All you have to do is look outside your window, turn on your tv, listen, really listen to what is going on around you. We can’t go on like this. Violence, hatred, “insert-word-here”-ism, abuse, neglect, poverty, war, on and on and on.
I was talking to a friend tonight about her job. She is an angel. She works in a resident treatment facility for abused and neglected boys who are not in the legal system, but who need homes and care. We were talking about those boys, those children.
“I want Santa to fix my tooth”, one little boy put on his Santa list.
“I am sorry I keep hurting you but I don’t know what else to do”, another teen boy wrote to her.
Everywhere I turn I see it, the whispers of a change to come, a revolution, something signaling a new era. I have always believed in Gaia. And frankly, it doesn’t really matter whether I or any one else believes in Her. The earth’s ecosystem is alive, and while not conscious in the way humans define intelligence, it is delicately balanced in a way that only an intelligence could explain. And humans are a virus. We are an alien body in the system. And she will win. Gaia will not die, but instead will either kill us or make us impotent to hurt Her any more. We adapt, of course. Just like bacteria. But the bacteria adapt because Gaia needs to thin us before we harm Her irretrievably. Plagues, famine, new viruses, super “bugs”, everything just keeps getting more and more virulent. We wage war by destroying our own home, and She tries to rid Herself of us before we kill Her.
Not that I don’t trust human kind to kill itself off in a fit of complete idiocy. I’m sure we are quite capable of self destructing. Global warming, nuclear waste, biological warfare development, war, terrorism; all of it. I guess in a way I just wonder who will suceed first. But I also know that I see people around me awakening, being drawn, feeling new powers, having new ideas, joining together. We’re here for a reason. I keep asking my friend, “why? why Denver?” What brought me HERE. We don’t know. But here we are.
