Lisa,
Many thanks for the reminder of the "Message from Hopi Elders". Your
post also brought back a very vivid memory of one of the young women
from Estonia (Kairi?) reading this to those gathered in the circle at
the Halifax OSONOS.
What's with Canadian tables?

*We Are the Ones We’ve Been Waiting For*
We have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour. Now
you must go back and tell 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 the 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. 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 they will suffer
greatly.
Know the river has its destination. The elders say we must let go of
the shore, and push off and into the river.
Keep our eyes open, and our heads above water. 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 you do now must be done in a sacred manner and in Celebration.
We are the ones we've been waiting for.
--The Elders, Hopi Nation, Oraibi, Arizona, USA
September, 2001
My thanks to my dear friend and facilitation colleague, Dr. Joshua
Volle, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, for sharing theses words blessing and
deep reminder,
Lisa

When you eventually see through the veils to how things really are,
you will keep saying again and again,"This is certainly not like
we thought it was!" ( Rumi)
We are very near to greatness: one step and we are safe: can we not take the
leap? (Emerson)
