We Are The Ones We Have Been Waiting For

Exploring possibilities for 8-15 Oct in London, where I´m travelling for Wosonos 2012, I visited London Permaculturalists and found this beautiful poem. Enjoy it, enjoy yourselves!

You have been telling the people that this is the Eleventh Hour.
Now you must go back and tell the people that this is The Hour.

Here are the things that must be considered:

Where are you living?
What are you doing?
What are your relationships?
Are you in right relation?
Where is your water?
Know our 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.

This could be a good time!

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

Know the river has its destination.
The elders say we must let go of the shore, push off toward the middle of
the river,
keep our eyes open, and our heads above the water.

See who is 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 and journey comes to a halt.

The time of the lonely wolf is over.
Gather yourselves!

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 have been waiting for.

WOULD YOU CHANGE?


thanks 1000 times to inspiring our music cHannel :-)!

If you knew that you would die today,
Saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that love can break your heart
When you're down so low you cannot fall
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

If you knew that you would be alone,
Knowing right, being wrong,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would find a truth
That brings up pain that can't be soothed
Would you change?
Would you change?

How bad, how good does it need to get?
How many losses? How much regret?
What chain reaction would cause an effect?
Makes you turn around,
Makes you try to explain,
Makes you forgive and forget,
Makes you change?
Makes you change?

Are you so upright you can't be bent?
If it comes to blows are you so sure you won't be crawling?
If not for the good, why risk falling?
Why risk falling?

If everything you think you know,
Makes your life unbearable,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you'd broken every rule and vow,
And hard times come to bring you down,
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you knew that you would die today,
If you saw the face of God and love,
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?
Would you change?

If you saw the face of God and love
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?

"WE HAVE DONE IT OURSELVES"

Go to the People;

Live among them;

Love them; Learn from them;

Start from where they are;
Work with them; 
Build on what they have.

But of the best leaders,
When the task is accomplished,

The work completed,

The people all remark:

"We have done this ourselves“

… Lao Tse

Irv Sheffey from the Sierra Club sent this piece by Lao Tse (the author of the Tao de ching) to the OSLIST. May it inspire us! Irv says: "I operate from it in my work with community and I believe it reflects the self-organizing philosophy underpinning OST (open space technology)."  

Then Spark, agreed: "It truly describes what happens from practice of OST. Becomimg a presence of Totaly Present  and Absolutely Invisible!"



Ride the wave :-)!

MARGARET WHEATLEY

Really profitable morning, flowing and showing.

After posting something on Nancy Margulies, I came by Margaret Wheatley who wrote an introduction to Nancy's great book "Mindscaping".

Best wishes!

LEADERSHIP'S VALUE


To lead people, walk beside them …
As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence.
The next best, the people honor and praise.
The next, the people fear;
and the next, the people hate …
When the best leader’s work is done the people say,
"We did it ourselves!”

- Lao-tsu

Enjoy yourself!
