The Touch Bearers It takes a great deal of strength, boldness and determination to assume the responsibility of standing in the gap of making a deviation of change from the default societal norm or rather in a more down to earth term, standing to make a change.  Often, it takes more or all to show the rest of the world the possibilities embedded in a move for change outside of the generalized notion of age long belief that has overtime become a norm and  which is often characterized with no slightest expectation of a possible system collapse. From time immemorial, even in the midst of the common orientation of thoughts among the lots of the human population, there have always been some special ones that could read in between the lines of time and often they tend to see beyond the average aligned mind set of many around them.

The climate negotiations have begun in earnest in the capital of Peru,  Lima , with the convergence of all stakeholders in the business of climate talks and then we have our hopes rising again on the scale of probably things would work out right at this time as it’s a significant timing in the history of negotiating the future of our planet in the face of a changing climate and even as we look towards a new deal in Paris come 2015. The ban-kin moon’s climate summit held in New York earlier this year proved...
