Being Like Water Together

like galaxies whirling ~d nelson

Gently going with the flow,
carried by hydraulic forces, which
powerfully shaped geology on mother earth
& made all life, as we know it
possible.

water reflecting what is real & true

Paddle with skill & wisdom, Zen student,
as difficulties arise maneuver around obstacles
& adapt to changing landscapes,
be they physical formations
or mental formations.

going as a river, together

May you be like water
going as a river back to the sea.
Fearlessly returning,
as rivers have eternally done.

“Don’t make a plan of fighting; that is a very good way to lose your teeth. If you try to remember you will lose. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water” ~Bruce Lee
