once in a blue moon

Today the 00s end. Tomorrow the 10s begin. And I'm really praying that the new decade will bring in an era of peace, love, and happiness.

Remember the turn of the century; how it was filled with brilliant optimism and the promise of better things to come? And yet all we've been served over the past decade is fear, war, anxiety and greed. It's as if the new century got off to a false start, and tomorrow we get the chance to start again.

Perhaps that is why there will be a blue moon this evening; because this is the Dawning Of The Age Of Aquarius. When the moon is in the seventh house, the astrological house of co-operation and relationships.

And perhaps that is why the theme for this evening's 2010 fireworks display on Sydney Harbour is "Awaken The Spirit".

I'll be watching the fireworks from a yacht, with my wife and my youngest daughter. I'll also be doing my bit to awaken every living spirit, under the light of a full, blue moon, in my quest to help make our world a better place for every one. I invite you to join me.
