| Trecena of 1 Chuen
| The Trecena of Creativity Finally, a fun trecena! The eleventh trecena is ruled by Chuen, the playful Monkey. The upcoming thirteen days embody a magical period of creativity, art, music, dance and play. This is the time to slip out of your rigid corporate persona, leave that business suit and tie in the closet, and let the real, creative you thrive. This trecena can help you transform your life from fulfilling the mundane daily tasks of modern existence to one of endlessly vibrant, exuberant experience. We know of many such transformations: a Wall Street investment broker who quit his job to dedicate his life to photography, a Washington DC accountant who shed his corporate skin to be the painter he always was, a freelance writer who started a company dedicated to beauty and sustainability. But as with any creative or magical power, you need to respect and honor it, and lend it your deepest talents and skill, and guide it as you would any wild untamed force of nature. Lose sense of what you’re doing and it will snap into chaos. Do you have the courage to be who you are? Join us on the daily journeys of each Trecena, online at Facebook and Twitter. Calling all parents and their children Too often, those of us running Mayan Calendar web sites focus our content and communications on adults. But it is the children, with their natural innocence, playfulness and inquisitive nature, who often tell us, the adults, much more about the living essence of the Mayan Calendar than we can imagine. Most of us can surely remember at least a few moments when a child utters a question or comment so natural, so pure and so true, that we simply stop in our tracks. We want to include the voices of children in the conversations and the knowledge that the Mayan Calendar Portal brings to the international community. We always have... and now is the time to make it happen. Supported by LUCITÀ, the company that designed and produced the Portal, we are announcing a new project: telling stories of the Mayan Calendar through children's eyes. So those of you who are parents, relatives, or teachers of school-age children who are interested in writing stories about the Mayan Calendar, please contact us for further details. Help for Haiti On 9 Cimi, 12.19.17.0.6, Tuesday, January 12, a 7.0 earthquake struck about 10 miles from the capital city Port-au-Prince in the nation of Haiti in the Caribbean. Tens of thousands of people are feared dead, with hundreds of thousands homeless, displaced and injured. The Mayan day sign for this day was Cimi, meaning “Death”. To many this may be too eerie of a coincidence to be brushed aside; it’s always more pleasant to interpret the Tzolk’in in a positive or supportive light, but unfortunately not all that happens in our world is pleasant or pretty. What matters is how we, as a society and a global community, respond. What matters is how we ensure disasters like this are mitigated or prevented in the future. What happened in Haiti is nothing short of stunning. In only 35 seconds, a vertically pounding seismic tremor reduced the entire capital city to rubble. Reconstruction and rebuilding of lives will take many months if not years, but for now, Haiti’s most immediate need is for food, water, shelter and medical assistance and supplies.
