The River is Flowing Fast

You have been telling the people that this is
Now you must go back and tell them that this
And there are things to be considered:

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.

It is time to speak your Truth.
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,
push off into the middle of 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 we do now must be done
in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we have been waiting for.
