A HOPI ELDER SPEAKS:
"You have been telling the people that this
is the Eleventh Hour,
now you must go back and tell the people that this
is the Hour.
And there are things to be considered...
Where are you living? What are you doing?
What are your relationships? Are you in right relation?
Where is your water? Know your garden.
It is time to speak your Truth. Create your community.
Be good to each other.
And do not look outside yourself for the leader."
Then he clasped his hands together, smiled, and said,
"This could be a good time! There is a river flowing
now very fast.
It is so great and swift that there are those who will
be afraid.
They will try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart and will suffer
greatly.
Know the river has its destination. The elders
say we must let
go of the shore, push off into the middle of the
river, keep our
eyes open, and our heads above the water.
And I say, see who is in there with you and celebrate.
At this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
Least of all, ourselves. For the moment that we do,
our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves!
Banish the word struggle from your attitude and your
vocabulary.
All that we do now
must be done in a sacred manner
and in celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for."
