\nSunflower ‘Moulin Rouge’<\/strong>
\nYou have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
\nNow you must go back and tell the people that this is the Hour.
\nAnd there are things to be considered:
\nWhere are you living?
\nWhat are you doing?
\nWhat are your relationships?
\nAre you in right relation?
\nWhere is your water?
\nKnow your garden.
\nIt is time to speak your Truth. Create your community. Be good to each other.
\nAnd do not look outside yourself for the leader.
\nThis could be a good time!
\nThere is a river flowing now very fast.
\nIt is so great and swift that there are those who will be afraid.
\nThey will try to hold on to the shore.
\nThey will feel they are being torn apart and they will suffer greatly
\nKnow the river has its destination.
\nThe 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.
\nSee who is in there with you and celebrate.
\nAt this time in history, we are to take nothing personally.
\nLeast of all, ourselves.
\nFor the moment that we do, our spiritual growth and journey comes to a halt.
\nThe time of the lone wolf is over.
\nGather yourselves!
\nBanish the word struggle from your attitude and your vocabulary.
\nAll that we do now must be done in a sacred manner and in celebration.
\nWe are the ones we have been waiting for.
