Day 22b: The Wisdom of the River … (05/06/2019)

“Sometimes, when you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river passing slowly by beneath you, you suddenly come to understand everything of importance there is to be known — that in life, as in LOVE, there is no hurry; that we are truly & quite literally all ONE (and should thus act accordingly); that the secret to living a life filled with Peace & Meaning is to live Peace-fully & Meaning-fully; that we are here not to live longer but rather to be kinder; that we are here not to accumulate more material wealth for ourselves but rather to fully share with others all that we already have; that we are here not to meekly give away our power to preachers & politicians but rather to deeply Become the Change we need to see — to develop strong-hearted communities that believe in justice for all and interconnected neighborhoods founded in giving more than taking and compassion more than criticism or condemnation.” ~ inspired by A. A. Milne
