The River Flows

Air Temperature: 5 Degrees |  Time: 7.35am

The river flows… its sound is incessant…when you hear it so much it is easy to overlook it…even when it sings so loud that you have to almost consciously close your ears to hear thoughts…

Was very aware of it today – and having the awareness that at some point I wont perhaps be walking by it so much… made me feel really sad.

Why do we do that to ourselves? Reflect or torcher ourselves with thoughts that in fact have no ‘reality’ in the moment?

A robin sitting in a Gorse bush drew my attention, singing as I walked by… its message clear enough – enjoy the now, you are here! And why would tomorrow, or next week…or anytime in the future…be less beautiful or have any less magic?

The river flows – a river – but actually never the same, different waters flow through in each and every moment…you are never ‘in’ the same water twice…And the river doesn’t hold onto that flow, it allows it to ‘be’ and is magical for doing so…

Neither then should we…the way forward being – ‘allow’ the flow and enjoy each moment for what it presents…

Enjoy your journey X
