TOPIC:

Y2K: HOLDING BREATH...WAITING TO EXHALE

In this issue of DIALOGUE, our contributors invite us to refocus the coming of the new millennium with its multifaceted dimensions :

• its doom and gloom for the future and its hope for new beginnings,
• its predictions of technological crashes and its promise of living the present moment. "Fear not...",
• its temptation for addictive isolation and its challenge for the treasuring of relationships,
• its loss of identity in the global village and its solidarity with the poor, the oppressed, the excluded,

In a stance of both goodbye and hello, we are invited on the pilgrim journey into the wilderness of the unknown to find a new and powerful meaning in Y2K. In a spirit of balance, lucidity, prevention and prudence, we ask pardon, we give thanks.
