BE PART OF THE FLOW
I sat on a bench in the sun,
a wise wanderer came to me and said:
"I take life as it comes, catch the flow.
Did you notice life’s like being in a big river:
you don't swim upstream or you’ll drown, friend,
take a lesson from a piece of driftwood.
no struggle, just going along for the ride
and yet,
an artist on the shore,
paints the scene and there it is:
in a gallery for all to see, yet still floating,
caught in the magic of light and shadow
by the magician in paints.”
“Just by being who I AM in this sunshine
I can heal the world,
I can change
the kaleidoscope of life around this town,
can you see?
Even if I know no one here,
I know all things inside my mind
and this knowing brings me to the edge of time.”
He slowly drank the coffee I bought him
and with a smile, he disappeared.
