HOPI ELDER SPEAKS
"You have been telling people that this
is the eleventh hour, now you must go back and tell the peoplethat this
is the hour. And there are thing to be considered.
Where are you living? What are you doing? what are your relationships? are you in right relationship? Where is your garden?
It
is the time to speak your truth. Create your community. be good to
each other. and do not look outside of yourself for the leaders."
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 onto 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 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 yourself! Banish the word struggle from your
attitude and your vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a
scared manner and in celebration!
We are the ones we've been waiting for."
