Going with the flow

“We are all floating in a tremendous river and the river carries you along. Some of the people in the river are swimming against the current, but they are still being carried along. Others have learned that the art of the thing is to swim with it. You have to flow with the river. There is no other way. You can swim against it, and pretend not to be flowing with it. But you still flow with the river.” ~Alan Watts

Fluent
I would love to live
the way a river flows,
carried by the surprise
of its own unfolding.
~John O’Donohue
