Flow with life, or swim upstream?

⎯⎯◇⎯⎯

We are born with a quiet wisdom—

it moves through us,

guiding, teaching,

rooting and reaching.

But over time,

we learn not to listen.

“Knowing out there” replaces

the knowing within.

Doing takes over.

Freedom is outsourced.

And we begin

repeating the past.

We may not remember

when we started resisting life’s current—

but our bodies do:

Tight pelvis.

Tough belly.

Armored heart.

All we long for

is wrapped in our tension,

waiting to be met

with loving awareness.

The return is simple:

Feel.

Listen.

Choose to be

right here.

Let the heart soften.

Let the past loosen.

Let the unknown open.

We are both roots and reach.

Earth and sky.

Person and being.

In every moment,

we can begin again.

No striving.

No mistake.

Just this:

to trust life

and move with it.

Together,

we remind,

we hold,

we celebrate.

Many footsteps—

one path home.

The choice is ours:

to flow with life,

or swim upstream.
