29. The Fourth Turning:
An American Prophecy - What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendevous with Destiny by William Strauss and Neil Howe ( Dec. 29, 1997) new $12.23, used $6.91 Amazon.com.
While they were writing the book I was getting "boots on the ground", learning, as a 57 yr old non-trad. Graphic Design Major.
If I'd had $ I would have bought myself a Mac & some Adobe software & TAUGHT MYSELF. I didn't, but Pell & Stafford grants were available so I went to school! After that I taught art to kids ages 6 - 12 at the YWCA, & did a VISTA stint with 7th -12th graders, for 2 years to pay off some of the student loans. AS I worked with these extraordinary, young people, I read about Indigo children, realized they a were all Pluto, ( anarchy/ death & rebirth) in Scorpio, born between 1984 & Nov. 10 1995,. my almost 16 yr old Grandaughter's birthday. I perceived that they would bring about a Renaissance!
AND HERE WE ARE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE! Do NOT underestimate them....they were born remembering their soul contract in this lifetime!
While I was a VISTA an older group of young people came to town in their knit caps & duct taped sneakers.........and boufght the old Grange building. At that time I thought "The conservative community will not let them near their children!" They tuned me in to Mother Jones & The Nation In 11 years they have performed a miracle...creating a real sense of community from a diverse population. See pix of the Blackfly Ball this year.

I went to the Ball dressed in a 35 yr old, 35 lb lighter, grecian style dress I had made, adding a headress with an owl......as Pallas Athena, the Goddess of Wisdom & War and larger picture patterns. It was truly remarkable; I drew the 20 - 27 year olds to me like a magnet. ( I'm 72) They KNEW exactly WHO I was & WHY!
The Revolution has begin....& it will be LOVE not War..................
