Poetry Friday and Restarting

[charlottesmom]

Here I am again. Computer problems resolved, all data restored. Charged up to really use LJ this year. But, realistic enough to know that with my spring schedule it will be tough to post regularly.

So, my valiant beginning is a Friday Poem, found on the bulletin board at the yoga studio last week:

You have been saying that this is the 11thhour. 
Now tell the people that this is the hour.

There is a river flowing now very fast.
Know the river has its destination.  We must 
let go of the shore, push off into the middle 
of the river, keep our eyes open, our heads above water.

Gather yourselves!
Where are you living?
What are you doing?
Your relationships--are you in right 
Relation?
Where is your water?
Know your garden.
It is time to speak your truth.

Create your community.
Be good to each other.
Do not look outside yourself for the leader.
This could be a good time.

Banish the word struggle from your 
vocabulary.

All that we do now must be done in a 
sacred manner and in celebration.

We are the ones we've been looking for.

We are the ones we've been looking for.  Indeed.  A new thought for a new year.
