A Message from the Hopi Elders

                                                                     

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 that 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 spirtual growth and the journey come to a halt. The time of the lone wolf is over. Gather yourselves. Banish the word struggle from you attitude and vocabulary. All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration. We are the ones that we have been waiting for.
