River Change
Imagining life is a river.
Most people are clinging to the bank,
not letting go. Trying not to risk being carried to the current of the waterway. Staying in the water that long will make you shiver. Stagnant makes you buried and keeps you manqué. So at a certain point, we must simply let go,
it will only help everyone grow.
Trust that the river will carry you along safely,
nothing should be hazy if we learn to go with the flow.
Once we befit accustomed,
to be in the movement of the river,
it is a time to begin,
to look ahead and guide our course onward.
Change is not a sin.
The ripples will roll from soul to soul,
and develop forever and forever.
Look to where the passage looks best,
steering the way around boulders and snags,
choosing which of the many channels to prefer to follow.
All the while, still going with the flow, letting go.
This way, we aren’t dragged or shivering.
For we now have the choice to go, change, get out, and not deter…
