Trust the Water

“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”― Alan Wilson Watts

“The art of living… is neither careless drifting on the one hand nor fearful clinging to the past on the other. It consists in being sensitive to each moment, in regarding it as utterly new and unique, in having the mind open and wholly receptive.”― Alan Wilson Watts

What’s mine to do?
What’s mine not to do?
To carry or leave by the wayside
To pay attention to or tune out
Awake in this moment
Listening
Not only for the answers
But for the questions too
Mostly for mere being, witnessing
Conscious of beauty beyond questions and answers, solving and performing
Trusting the water, buoyancy of presence
Harmonies of magnificence and glory

“Through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself. Through our ears, the universe is listening to its harmonies. We are the witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory, of its magnificence.”― Alan Wilson Watts
