Doomsday did not occur as many expected. Amazingly, the world goes on. Sometime in August of this year, Prof. Jimmy Licauco, in his program “Inner Mind” on DZMM, argued that the “end of a cycle” as prophesied by the Mayan calendar is not necessarily the end of the world as we know it.
Like any other date on the calendar, Dec. 21, 2012, came and went. And we’re still standing, proof (if it were needed) that the “end of the world” prophecy involved, not a cataclysm that would wipe out humankind, but a transformation.
I glance at the sky for signs of anything unusual. Just a while ago, the noontime sky was slightly overcast. Now, a steady breeze is whooshing in from the northeast and is all but dispelling the low-hanging clouds. The sun is out, and I am starting to regret that I woke up too late this morning to go motorcycling or bird-watching.
