Living like a River

In the grand tapestry of existence, there is something profoundly beautiful about the way a river gracefully meanders through the landscape. It flows effortlessly, surrendering itself to the unforeseen twists and turns that lie ahead. Just like the river, I too yearn to live a life defined by freedom, serenity, and an unwavering trust in the unfolding of my own journey. 

 To live like a river is to embrace the inherent unpredictability of life, to release the need for rigid control, and to surrender to the gentle currents that guide me. It is to find solace in the unknown and discover the hidden wonders that await. When I envision living as a river, I feel a surge of liberation coursing through my veins. I am freed from the shackles of expectations and constraints, liberated from the burden of trying to force outcomes. 

Like the river, I am carried by the mystery of my own unfolding, allowing life's profound surprises to shape my path. The river teaches me the art of adaptability, as it effortlessly adjusts its course, flowing around obstacles and embracing new landscapes. It invites me to flow with the ever-changing rhythms of life, to navigate the unforeseen with grace and resilience. Through its wisdom, I am reminded that true strength lies in flexibility and openness. 

 Living like a river calls me to be present in each moment, to immerse myself fully in the ebb and flow of life's experiences. Just as the river dances with the sunlight, I am called to embrace the joys and challenges that come my way, finding beauty and meaning in every twist and turn. In the gentle, rhythmic movement of the river, I find a profound connection to the natural world. I am reminded of the interconnectedness of all beings, the unity that threads through the tapestry of life. 

Like the river, I am a part of this vast interwoven web, here to contribute my unique essence to the world. So, I embrace the invitation to live like a river, to surrender to the unknown and trust in the unfolding of my own story. I release my grip on the illusion of control, and instead, I allow myself to be carried by the currents of life. With each passing moment, I embrace the surprise of my own unfolding, finding solace in the journey, and joy in the dance of existence. 

 All my Love and Light, Antra
