5. I'm actually grateful to be getting up in years

because we are forced to move slower as we age and the lack of social outlets of old women, especially, mean a lot of down time for putting it all together in terms of what we have learned.

The Clan Mother was correct but she might have been describing her age rather than the world's age.

Still, whether the circle of the Fourth World is closing and the stepping stones to the Fifth are beginning to appear (rising sea levels being seen by the Hopi, among others) or whether people are starting to awaken from their rapidly shrinking consumerist dream and readying themselves for one form of revolution or another remains to be seen.

It will likely not be seen by me and I'm grateful for this, too.
