I am the River
Turning. Churning. Flowing. Being. Seeing. Growing. Moving. Going. Gone. Here. There. Everywhere.
I am the river. Nothing can stop me nor hold me in check. I move over and under, above and beyond. This is the will of me, the flow of me and my nature demands it.
I bend and I twist beyond stone, sand, and bank. Permeating all things big and small. I see no day, weeks, months, or years though I live through them all as time is my greatest friend. I effect others through it and carve my path slowly but steadily. One needs only to blink and see the progress.
Every moving, never halting. Change is constant. I not only adapt, I embody it, honoring the gift of the universe by accepting what is thrown in my path and overcoming it with temperance, patience, and flow.
I may not like the boulders and logs that threaten to dam me up but stopping to throw a tantrum or pout will serve only one purpose: To stop me. I will not be stopped. I cannot be stopped and to allow myself to be stopped would be horrid. Change continues and as the river so shall I.
So shall I.

A beautiful entry. Though difficult in its entirety, we must be open and accepting of the many facets of change. This post goes hand-in-hand with a quote (Bruce Lee) I posted a while back on my website (veganmuse.com), entitled ‘Personal Growth’.
Be Well.
