Samsara
Back to the Flow
We are reborn to the river of life even though, like everyone, we are never born in the truest sense. We are always becoming. The flow is in us and we are in the flow. We understand the illusion of self. Responding to changes in circumstances requires no consideration from us.
Free of expectations, we laugh when a small eddy in the current surprises us. Paying no attention to the mundane, we take delight in it. We care for the trivial tasks of the world and for the people in the flow, those buffeted by events, hurt by them, whether they are fallen into sorrow or into ecstasy. We care for the pain and disappointment, the pleasure and joy, the growth and healing, the injury and decay.
All creatures and non-creatures are immersed in the swirling stream of the world. We are nothing. We are small. We are effective. We are essential. We are trivial, so our selves are not important. We care not to influence the patterns of life and yet we do. We are the origins of the way. We are moved by it. We proceed in it without effort.
We feel the flow of all tasks, of humanity, life, non-life, and beyond.
