It doesn't turn back because it preferred the view upstream. It doesn't return to where it once felt safe. It meets boulders, Branches, Drops and turbulence. Sometimes it becomes loud, Unsettled. Just like the mind, And yet, It never stays chaotic for long. It always finds its path again. It remembers where it's going. It keeps moving towards the ocean, Where it becomes vast, Expansive and unbounded. And there is a lesson here for you. Flow forward. Don't cling. Don't try to return to what once was.
