With the Stream
We understand the flow of humanity, of life, and of non-life. We are not moving beyond the ordinary. Our skills within the flows of life allow our achievements to come to us easily. We swim in the currents with less effort than we once did. We let events carry us to where we want to go.
It is a wonderful thing to glide with the swirling world, to move in harmony with it, to fit naturally within its patterns. We often see events before they occur and guide ourselves accordingly. Even when we do not look ahead, even when we do not direct ourselves to any goal, we find ourselves moving naturally to where is best, to doing right things with little effort, to achieving what is the most necessary.
Many do not strive for more. They mark this as success. Still, there is striving in us. Still, there is disappointment and suffering. Still, we feel a connection to the river of life, the flows of joy and sadness. We see that we should address the source of disappointments inside.
