Letting go, the theme of the past 4 or 5 months for me... now life sends me the challenge of letting go in a bigger way... River spoke to me of this:
I was breathing in the nature park on yesterday's wet and dewy morning. My four legged dog friend, Buddy, had just finished at the vet and we felt this would be a good way for both of us to unwind and let go. I had been down this particular path about a month prior and was drawn to it again.
As we made our way towards the river I noticed it was particularly loud this morning. Coming closer I found the water was high, muddy & moving quickly. On this last visit there was a large tree lodged against the embankment that I climbed over and viewed many tadpoles coming into their own among the safety of the stagnant branches. The tree was huge and appeared immovable.
It was gone this visit. Completely washed away down the river...
It was then that River spoke to me of letting go. Continually pushing through the small pebbles, the large rocks, the massive trees, all forms of debris never getting anything stuck forever in one place. Slowly carving out canyons and new pathways river changes the world patiently on this journey of continued letting go. It is the stagnant water that is unclean. In it's unmoving nature it harbors danger of disease growing in the unmoving depths but the flowing moving river is clean, safe and naturally renewed daily.
You never see the same river twice. River does not hold still in one place to analyze, to judge, to wallow. River takes joy in the adventure of letting go, moving on, cleaning house and allowing new energy to flow.
Thank you River for your bubbly words!
Today I imagine myself a river. A constant flow of energy. Cleaning and Letting Go with each step.
