There is a river flowing now very fast.
It is so great and so swift that there are those who will be afraid.
They will try to hold onto the shore.
They will feel they are torn apart and 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 water.

And I say, "See who is in there with you and celebrate..."

We are the ones we have been waiting for.

-Hopi Elder
