Have you ever questioned all this “social networking” most of us are participating in? You can join a community on Amazon or Facebook or Twitter or for artists or to reunite with old classmates (whose names – if you are like me – you might not remember) or meet a partner, or write a blog to broadcast your opinions around the world, or, or, or… And have you noticed how important symbols have become? Nothing happens if you write / when you mean . or % instead of @.

One of the benefits of this computer age is that we’re getting hawk-like vision (and more and more people are wearing glasses). The other day, I e-mailed an invitation to the opening reception for my new paintings and included my web address www.ruthdrayer.com. My son Jay quickly spotted that I had written “/” instead of “.” – so anyone who tried to click on it, got nowhere.

What’s interesting (numerologically) is that both are things “2” symbolizes. Beginning 2001 and ending 2999, our focus it on learning to use our hearts together with our heads. Anyone who thinks he/she understands (intellectually) what is going on these days, is relying on old information. Everything in our life is undergoing change and we are becoming more fragile in our checkbooks and our hearts as well..

And we have something to “blame” – its the “2”! Its like trying to control a handful of water. This millennium is about feeling and sensing our way, rather than knowing it. And by the end, we will be doing it collectively. During the last thousand years, we really believed there was “1” person who could explain things to us and lead us out of it. Now its going to be a group effort. We will come to understand that no one person has all the answers. We, the “grassroots,” each carry truth…and by discussing it and coming into consensus we’ll create our path.

In January, I wrote about 2010 being a “3” year. 3 represents communication and words. It seems to me this year, 2010 , it will be urgent to pay attention to what we say and how we use our words. If we use them to depress and drag us down, we are joining mass consciousness and not helping. However, if we use them to inspire and uplift us –we are making a contribution to ourselves and our lives today. Now that the social networking is making us aware of our connectedness, let’s make a group effort to lighten up and bring more humor and creativity into our lives.
