Water

“May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke

It’s strange to think that I was once rather frightened of water.

The past few years have led me to seek it out.

I’ve fallen in love with the flow and the pattern of the water.

It doesn’t fight the path set out for it.

But as it follows the path, it gently but drastically changes the world.

“To have faith is to trust yourself to the water. When you swim you don’t grab hold of the water, because if you do you will sink and drown. Instead you relax, and float.”
– Alan Watts
