One of the great things about the recent rains is that the river is flowing fast and strong. As I stood by the River Teith at the weekend I wondered about how we emerge from what flows through us.
Pause for a moment and reflect.
Notice the air flowing into and out of your body as you breathe.
Think how all the cells of your body, billions of them, are constantly being replaced. Some cells are replaced within days, others weeks, all of them within about five years. How strange is that?
A stranger came up to me on the platform of the station the other day and told me he is going to be 70 on the 1st of July. He said, it’s strange because I still feel the way I did in my 20s. I can’t believe I’m almost 70.
Despite all this constant change, we still feel whole, we still feel ourselves (although sometimes as we emerge from major live events, we feel wholly changed, but, even then, we still feel we are ourselves).
Think for a moment of how everything that we are emerges from the flows of Life and Nature – energy, information, materials, time…..
Life is a constant flow, and we are constantly becoming as we emerge within this flow.
Be the flow.
[…] Whatever you turn your attention to next, see if you can put it in its context, see if you can see it as a transient, emergent part of the whole, see it as inextricably part of the flow. […]
