NEW YEAR

The New Year is about to begin. 2012 has been very significant: It sees humanity at the crossroads, with the entire generation rising up to build a saner and fairer way of life for every one.

We are witness to the growing voice of the people calling for change: the Arab Spring, the Occupy movement, the campaign against Ireland's abortion ban, the movement against corruption, and the uprise against the rape of the 23 year old girl have seen millions of ordinary people demand a better world.

Let's hope in the New Year we experience political honesty for reforms in police and bureaucracy, change in attitude towards sex and sexuality, and respect for the ordinary men and women so that there is an environment created for peace, justice and trust.

MINER

wheezing his way
to shiva's hilly abode
a young miner
