Watching the Water Flow By

As I sit in my meditation chair, just outside is a canal of water.

 

To watch the water flow by in its endless exchange of energy with the sea is very peaceful and calms my mind.

 

It is said in Wisdom teachings that you can never step into the same river twice.

 

The ever flowing nature of water is also ever changing as life is ever changing, yet in one of those profound ironies that so influence our comprehension of the world, there is continuity, sameness to the flow of the waters of our life.

It seems in observing the flow of water, in and out from the ocean; back and forth with the tide we can better understand the nature of time and the mystery of the eternal NOW.” – Genevieve Gerard

The waters of life flow through our life and get divided into categories like past and future but remain present in the moment, in the NOW.

This continuity of consciousness like the water provides both the opportunity for sameness and the opportunity for possibility and potential as yet untapped.

This continuous flow whether it be of the water or life events creates awareness that in any moment everything can change. This potential, and the promise of this possibility, is part of the power of living in the moment.

The potential and promise of change brings hope and excitement to the adventure of our life while being in the moment releases us from the past freeing us from the burden of what has been while we are able to receive the joy of being in the NOW.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard
