The River's Message
The River’s Message
The sunlight sparkling on the water draws me to it, like happy fae dancing a dance of shimmering light and luminescent joy.
I pause to watch the river through the trees, and to breathe in the cool and clean air around me.
I close my eyes and still see the river’s sunlight sparkles behind my lids, and I feel into the message of the river.
“Be easy,” it whispers to me. “Exhale.”
I exhale deeply, and an abiding sense of relief begins to flood my body, one that is much needed on this morning when tension feels like tight little coils scattered throughout my body.
“Remember the flow,” the river continues. “It is always here; always available.”
“Always here; always available,” I murmur, enjoying the warm feel of sunshine on my face.
I spend several moments in the loving and soothing presence of the river, until no more words are needed, until we are simply being together.
As I turn to leave the trails and head back home, I feel the presence of the river within my blood, reminding me to be easy, to exhale, and to remember the inherent and harmonious flow of life.~~~
