After spending a few months lying on the river bed, the current of life has lifted me again. The blessings of regular life make me float, light in the head. A cold comes and goes as the freezing water tests my body, builds my resistance. How simple the rules of nature are....
Follow the rules to sustain the earth and that behavior will sustain you. Love with all that's in you and love will carry you to your destiny. He may at times leave you alone, struggling with the currents and the coldness, but surely His hand will lift you when you get stuck.
There is no loneliness when all you have, is received to help you along, to feel whole and worthy. Finding the path is not through choosing, but to surrender to the eternal flow. So it was, and so it will be. Learning from elders and passing on to children is fulfilling.
