Be Like Water

Be Like Water

Be like water,
mysterious,
elusive to the grasping touch,
persistently gentle
in eroding the unyielding,
flexible in entering
where nothing solid can block
its curious searching,

So mutably soft,
safe from harm
or being destroyed
in simply changing form
and returning again,
overtime,
overcoming the hard,

Steady drip, drip, drip
of resolute kindness
becoming a large lake of serenity,
a reservoir
where evil cannot enter,

Be like water,
flowing everywhere,
gushing, sometimes shooting,
aerated, slippery, and pure,
wherever,
containing a message of spiritual reverence
nourishing thirsty souls
with regenerating sustenance,
even in the midst
of world-wide sorrow,

Be like water,
with strength
so like the Tao,
you get it
by relaxing into the river,
and letting go.

Ruth, i do the same thing with this one and the other HeartSong poem... love it when something speaks (((((again and again))))... resonance, baby!

Drew, water is endless and infiniteness just as we are … so since we all come from the water... we gotta be like water and just be!!

Once again reminded that, simply, the universe has the answers.

xoxo.
