Message from Hopi Elders

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 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 in there with you and celebrate.

"At this time in history, we are to take nothing personal. 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."

From Earth we are created,
From imagination we are uplifted,
From history we are transcended,
We are the Past, Present and Future,
We are Now.

The fruit of the Spirit is
Gentleness, Patience, Kindness
Self-Control, Love, Faithfulness
Joy, Peace, Goodness.

Love and Peace, Barefoot Windwalker
