The River of Healing ebbs and flows,
where it goes, no one knows.
With no beginning and no end,
and surprises around every bend,
flowing at its' natural pace,
for natural healing is not a race.
Go with the flow and you will find
natural ease and peace of mind.
Drag your feet and you will see
much more pain than need be.
Move too fast, speeding along,
faster than the River's song,
you will find it tires you out,
exerting effort because of doubt,
not trusting enough to go with the flow,
not trusting you'll be where you need to go.
Pushing the River doesn't get you as far
as accepting the moment, wherever you are.
Does the river need to know
where it's going in order to flow?
Must it reach the sea on time
in order to have peace of mind?
Is the river of today
the same as it was yesterday?
Who you are changes as the river flows,
with every breath that comes and goes.
It doesn't make much sense, you see,
to do so much, so much easier to be.
The River has peace of mind
because it has no self or time,
just flowing along, here and there,
flowing along without a care,
not thinking of what it should be,
or when it should finally reach the sea.
