The Flow of Time
Shedding the past, easing the future: Lessons from a waterfall
The thought of time that has passed, with its joyous moments and bittersweet recollections, flows through my mind, as i gaze at the water flowing down the waterfall.
As the water descends below, the worry of the uncertainty that the future entails and the question of what is to come, gathers up in my mind, just like the flowing water accumulates in the plunge pool.
Then, I realised that we can either stand on the sidelines, as mere spectators of time's passage, lost in the past or worried about the future. Or we can choose to be present in the present and absorb the enthralling majesty of the waterfall
Witnessing the waterfall became a reminder to make the most of what we have, shedding the weight of what was and the burden of what will be, and simply being here, now, in this beautiful flow of simply, being.
