Day 086o: Flowing with the Fluss … (July 09, 2019)
There are many rivers through life alongside those made of water – there is the river of time (made up of myths & memories), the river of serendipity (built from omnipresent blessings & opportunities), the river of destiny (constructed from the consequences of all past choices), and the river peace (erected from all the moments we choose to Love Anyway).

“In a relativistic universe we can’t effectively cling to anything. We must learn to swim – or at least float purposefully – instead.
