As I looked out over the crowd of us all this morning I couldn't help but smile. So many of us gathered from different places with different languages, stories, and personal histories. Nonetheless here we are all together sharing one dream bringing all our disparate energies together into one movement. As our small groups gathered this afternoon my circle came up with many questions for our future. How can we partner with our wise sisters before we loose them, what will the values be which will guide us into the future, how can we apply the seventh generation principal to our decision making process now, what do we need to do to be open to receiving the next generation. These questions highlight the movement we are growing here, we have so much hope for our present as well as for future generations. Together we do believe we can live this life fully, and discover what God's gift from this transitional time period is for us and for the world.
