Time to Gather

At the Museum of the American Indian in D.C. there is a Mayan calendar statue in the entrance area. I was in Belize, talking to a Mayan just a few months before the calendar cycled again. There were rumors going around that the world would end when the calendar restarted. It didn't.

No matter what season we are in there is a cycle to life when we are gathering something. We gather skills that allow us to navigate adulthood. We gather wealth and assets that allow us to raise our families. In retirement we gather memories of wonderful experiences. Round and round we go, never ending, always in pursuit of something.
