Life and water share the desire to flow.
You can slow water down by freezing it, but the ice will eventually melt. You can place obstacles in its path but it will flow around them as it gradually wears them down. You can heat it up and it’ll evaporate, disappearing for a while until it forms clouds, rain, rivers and oceans again.
Stagnant pools look and smell bad. The water doesn’t want to stay there.
It wants to flow.
Life has the same desire. It wants to flow. Your blood flows through your arteries and veins, the air flows in and out of your lungs, electrochemical signals flow through your nervous system, hormones send constant messages as they flow from your endocrine glands.
Your thoughts flow, your memories flow, your emotions and sensations flow, your imaginings flow.
You can’t stop any of this and experience life.
Water is better when it flows.
Life is better when it flows.
Enjoy the flow.
