As I follow the Anchor


The following words are prophecy of the Hopi people, a Native tribe from the American Southwest.

There is a river flowing very fast.
It is so swift, there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are being torn apart
And will suffer greatly.
Know that the river has a destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore,
Push off into the middle of the river.
And I say, 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 comes to a halt.
The time of the lone wolf is over.
Gather yourselves together, as we are tonight.
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 are waiting for.
Ahoy!
