Samsara
The Flow
We are in the flow but we are not aware of it. We are born to the river of life but arrive ignorant of its currents. Early on, we are surprised when circumstances around us change. Even after we grow wiser, for a long while we respond to changes in the flow immediately, without consideration. We wonder why we feel pain and disappointment, pleasure and joy, growth and healing, injury and decay.
All creatures are immersed in the swirling stream of the world. All of them create the eddies, drifts, and rushes. Together we make the way. We influence the patterns even before we are born. We shape them after we die. We are an origin of the current even as we are buffeted by it, driven by it to our injuries, to sorrows, to tears, to despair, to peace, to rage, to calm, and to love.
We are in the flow.
