Play in the stream

Everything flows.
Wind and water are always in motion in little streams and eddies and in large ocean size currents. Electrons and photons are flowing everywhere. So is heat. Anything that orbits or resonates is constantly converting energy, making it flow from one form to another and back again.

Life flows. Ideas, emotions, stories, plot lines, money, wealth, attention and chi all flow through our society.

Whether it is mechanical or spiritual, when we manage to divert some of these flows to our own purposes, we call it energy.

Once we realize the huge abundance of natural flow, perhaps we will begin to understand that it is often more life affirming to align ourselves with those flows than it is to dam them, block them and channel them to selfish purposes.

Play in the stream.
