I am told that as of Monday, May 11th I am now officially a community organizer. In light of this REBIRTH, I choose to step forward and represent myself in this new world. Thus, I am excited to join the inspiring project, Imagine 2050.

This past Monday, May 11th marked a Mayan calendar event known as the Rebirth Celebration. My band brothers and I had been anticipating the moment as a distinct time for personal growth and important change. I can still feel the effects racing in my blood. When we stumbled upon the information months back, we looked forward to whatever the day might bring.

As the moment approached and ideas of journeys into the wild for celebrating began to dissolve, I focused my energy on organizing an event in downtown San Antonio, my home. Luckily, a solid partnership had already been struck between Main Plaza Conservancy (the org that does all of the event planning for Main Plaza, a plot of land in the center of town that regularly features live music) and our Local 782, San Antonio’s Music Coalition. This made securing May 11 as a date for my own event very easy.

One thing I cannot reiterate enough is this simple idea: Music is more powerful than politics. Music destroys all barriers and you can argue all you want, but MUSIC IS THE FIRST UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE.

So I created an event that featured live music, live art, and guest speakers to bring the Mayan message to light. With the help of friends old and new, our observation of this Rebirth Celebration was a success.

The event called for an ongoing global meditation. We can take time to analyze and reestablish our role in the “Divine Plan”. More specifically we can figure out how to affect change on an individual level in order to create a sustainable world.

According to the research I’ve done, my dreams are gonna come true, and life will be better all over for me. The same will happen for you good people.

I’m stoked.
