A Mind Like Water

Develop a mind that is vast like the water,
where experiences both pleasant and
unpleasant can appear and disappear
without conflict, struggle, or harm.
Rest in a mind like water.

Another thing about water is that when moving, it moves towards the absolute foundation. It goes around all obstacles, ever-willing to adjust its course, in pursuit of its only destination.

Jon, Yes, I see this quality of water, taking the shape of the container moving toward absolute foundation, ever-willing, adjusting its course, in pursuit of its only destination... So much truth in this, and for our lives.

Thank you for this sweet comment, Mark. I'm glad you are back to blogging. As Isaiah reminded me recently, we are very imortant to one another for the inspiration we share. I agree.

Resting, resting...

Are we called to do any other thing but simply rest?
