Leave your cares, cell phones and computers behind. Come down to the River and Play ...

As the Hopi elders say ...

"There is a river flowing now very fast ...
Know the river has its destination.
We must let go of the shore, and push off and into the river,
Keep our eyes open, and our head above the water.
See who is in there with you ... and Celebrate!
... The time of the lone wolf is over.
We are the ones we've been waiting for."
