Bend the River The twists of life have many a shift and turn,

Ask yourself what's around the corner,

And what is there for you to learn.

Much more than you think,

So be honest with yourself.

Today is the day to start,

To get on with life itself.

Wondering,

Pondering,

Doubting,

And sometimes procrastinating,

Put all your worries to one side and start to relate to relating.

Relating to what is possible,

Instead of what is not.

Bringing resources together,

Ready to change your lot.

Moving along with confidence,

Coupled with a sense of ease.

Wiping away misconceptions,

Being able to see the wood for the trees.

At last enjoying the journey,

Working towards your goals.

We all have it in us to win,

Right in the depth of our souls.

With resistance it can come,

In all shapes and sizes.

So keep your eye on the ball,

And beware of life's surprises.

Pleasant surprises that come,

As you sleep and dream tonight.

A new fresh awareness abounds,

Full of use and delight.

Delighted by what is on offer,

Once you start to now believe.

Quite amazing when you think and realise,

What you can achieve.

To achieve what it is that you want,

Come out of the cold and leave shiver.

Stop resisting change,

Instead use your mind,

Bend over.
