Brian’s Reflection: Thursday, September 27, 2007


Know your 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.

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.

- Hopi Elders, Arizona


I have been thinking about the World today. It is not a time for Unity. It is a time for Diversity. And in a strange paradox, Diversity creates Unity in our times.

People cannot be oppressed and subjugated. People(s) cannot be demeaned or dismissed because someone thinks they are “unacceptable”. This is a time to look around and see who is next to us. To suspend judgment, and fear, and entitlement. To “speak your truth ….. be good to each other”. Time to really listen. Meaning, there may at least be some in there we can celebrate with.

There are two types of people. People closed, and people open, to the Spirit of Truth. I’m hanging in with the latter.
