Flowing. A contemplation.

by Padme Livingstone

Folks often point it out

As important.

You know,

BE IN THE FLOW.

Here’s another reminder

In case you need one

These days.

Especially these days.

The river we share

contains

Little rocks, big ones,

boulders,

Sometimes muddy

Sometimes clear

Whirlpools

Rapids.

Flooding.

Drops into caverns deep

And out again.

Quite a ride, yes?

Presence!

This moment

This breath is also

What we share.

On that

River.

Also at times easy going

And deep.

That depth is what might be craved

Connecting fully

With whatever stands in before us.

No where to hide.

(even if I think there is)

(don’t believe all you think)

Using whatever’s in the backpack

For the journey.

Heart

Mind

Body

And although

Often rough and wild,

Always very much

ALIVE.

And connected to it all.

Because we are.
