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.
        Here are the things that must be considered:
                Where are you living?
                What are you doing?
                What are your relationships?
                Are you in right relation?
                Where is your water?
                Know our 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 try to hold on to the shore.
They will feel like 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 toward the middle of
the river,
keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.
See who is 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 lonely wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!
Banish the word 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 have been waiting for.


Down stream.  Let go.  Keep your head above water.  Be attentive to who is around you.  

The message is a about flow.  To release our human desire to control the outcome and recognize that everything is fractal.  Patterns will be repeated, things will happen whether we want them too or not.  We in fact are not in control.  Except when it comes to our reactions.  

Everyday I am learning and re-learning that the importance is in letting go.  I am creating tension.  I am building up situations to be something that they are not.  And I am stressed.  Stressed that once I leave I will never see my dog Aspen again, that I may never see my mother and father again, that I will miss my friends and that they will not come to visit, that my car will not sell, and that once in Thailand everything will change........

And it is that change that we are afraid of because it is, in fact, the grey area that we fear.  
In a discussion with a girlfriend today about practicing rolling kayaks and how much fear there was behind the first roll.  The fear of the unknown and the feelings that will come with the unknown.  

So, in this grey space, however long we are there, we find a way to cope.  These days I am enjoying all the beer I can, smoking those amazing rolled cigarettes and swimming in water every chance I get.  I am afraid of this journey.  

Or is that fear really excitement?  Because aren't they the same feeling?  Just with different thoughts attached to them into them?

Simplicity

When you travel everything is amiable.  
An ever moving force that changes every second.  We forget the things back home; not intentionally, but because we are exploring ourselves and our new surroundings.  We have a mission to familiarize with our environment.


It is almost as if nothing matters.  And it is probably best that we forget some things.  After all if we are thinking about what we should be paying attention too in another part of the world then we are not fully present, are we?  Our minds our wandering to things that do not matter because what matters is what is sitting in front of us at that very second. 


Where ever we are in the world we should be content with whats around us.  Being secure enough in our lives that we know we are loved, supported and have everything that we need. 


In 29 years this is one of my most important lessons......  Be secure in who you are, take nothing personal (Thank you Don Miguel Ruiz), and love everyone openly with out the expectation of how they need to love you!
