The River

The river of life is like the unaimed arrow, it never misses.  It always follows the right path.   All of us in its current will wind up exactly where the river takes us. If we think the river should go in another direction, we are destined to struggle in a hopeless attempt to direct its flow.  The result is terror, hopelessness, depression, lack of faith and lack of peace.  

What is required is SURRENDER, which is simply the letting go of the wish for the world to be as you think it should be.  When your wish for each moment is for it to be exactly as it is, you will notice that you and the River are One.

    This from The Elders:

    "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 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 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've been waiting for."
