Message of Hope from the Hopi Nation

A Message of Hope
from the Hopi Nation

To my fellow swimmers,
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 that 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 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 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.
