today
i want to share my passion and joy for the river. i have been having
just the best time these last few weeks being with the rivers near my
home. i find i am drawn to various landscapes at different times in
my life. for now its the river.
ever
since i read the living book of nature by omraam mikhael aivanhov i
have looked at nature in a different way. i have started to read it
and see how i can use this information to help me in my life.
i
am sure i will be talking of omraam a lot as he has had such a
profound affect on me ..all his teachings bring together all the
ideas i believe in into one place.
what i
have found is the river is symbolic of life and especially trust in
god and life. she never worries oh will i have enough water.. will i
ever get over these boulders.. no she has total surrender and trust in
the whole processs..
the
river may empty but then the rains come and she is full and abundance
again..she just lets go and flows with life..
i
have found too that i can read the river and apply it to my life.. you
can see the sticks that have gathered and caused a dam that she has
to push through.. the boulders that she pushes over then rushes down
hill.. then the calm still waters where she is totally at peace.. can
you see how this is the same in our life.. the times when we have to
move through challenging times is like the river pushing through the
dam.. the times we giggle in joy is like the river bubbling over the
rocks and the still waters is our time of tranquility.
this
realisation has brought me such trust and growth as i walk along on
the river bank and read her as i go.. when i worry i look at her
surrendering to life and this helps me trust too... i see her
difficult times then calm coming after, and i know that this too will
come to me.
