Like Water Does
“Water is the most perfect traveler because when it travels it becomes the path itself!” ― Mehmet Murat Ildan
“Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing, in the end, can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can’t go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does.” ― Margaret Atwood
River to rapids.
Steady to still.
Movement to pause.
Activity and busy mastered.
Pause and float.
The lesson to learn, to master.
Release control of the uncontrollable.
Tune out the noise, from yourself the most.
Hold what is yours to hold.
Do but also be, more.
Become the path.
Enjoy the daily journey.
Nowhere else to be but where you are now.
Do not miss the depth, breadth, expanse of the present.
Soon to be called, “remember when.”
“Surrender to the flow.” – Mike Gordon
