We are
nourished at the River of Life.
The bounty
is found deep within the flow,
where currents
carry us to our center
as we bubble
over rocky obstacles
to soften
the hardness
and relieve
us
of unnecessary
burdens,
leaving our
truth exposed.
The ride is
rough,
we fight the
flow,
feeling lost
and confused
as the shoreline
disappears;
our
solidness and surety slipping away.
We’re pulled
beneath the surface
to face the
dark waters
of our fear,
shadows
looming
unseen
forces bumping,
paralyzing
us,
till we hold
still
and finally surrender,
ready to
peer into our darkness.
At the
moment of surrender,
we float in
the sea of acceptance
of all that
is and all that has been.
From the
center
the view is vast,
and unlimited
possibilities
make themselves known
that were unseen
from the shore.
Moving with
the current,
we navigate
from the
depths
of our
dreams
instead of
the banks
of our fears,
and drink from
the River of Life.
