Plan for the worst, expect the best

I recall that this year is either an 11 or a 2 and everyone has the free will to choose. A 2 is someone who will turn to violence, theft, projecting their darkest selves onto others and ultimately hurt themselves through alienation. An 11 will find compassion, look inward to claim their responsibility to their current situation, be a joyful member in community, and plan for the worst while expecting the best.

As the current picks up speed, I watch as the dead and outgrown parts of myself are washed downstream to live out a different life. And I rejoice at the parts of myself intact, stronger than ever.

So many choices I have made and I don’t regret one of them. As I know the path that has lead me to who I am today.

Hopi Elders Speak

You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.
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.
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 hold onto the shore.
They will feel that 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 the 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 we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!

Banish the world struggle from your attitude and vocabulary.
All that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
