Welcome to the joy of being.

Like the river,

We all face obstacles,

Twists and turns in our path.

And like the river,

We can become fluid and open.

As you begin this journey,

I invite you to leave your everyday far,

Far away.

And imagine,

You are a river.

You are the water's flow.

The obstacles of your life are like pebbles in a riverbed.

You flow easily around them.

You are fluid.

Creative.

Imaginative.

You are the water.

You are the flow.

And so life is easy.

You are open.

As the river flows into the sea of endless opportunity.

Allowing freedom to flow around.

Allowing your blocks to dissolve.

Gently.

Part of the dance.

The water sparkles and dances over and around them.

Soon those pebbles are smoothed and softened.

They are no longer in the way.

Now they are just part of the way.

Gentle purpose.

The flow allows for answers.

Awareness.

Flowing.

Freedom.

Creativity.

So you will feel refreshed and restored.

Fluid and flowing.

You can feel the river within.

Gently.

It flows in each and every one of us.

You can feel the river within.

Renewing.

Refreshing.

Reminding us to be fluid.

Reflexible.

Like the water.

Like the river.

Following its own path.

But in time,

Able to create new form and new direction.

You flow.

For you are the water.

You are the water.

The river has a destination.

It is moving along its watery bed.

It will stay its course.

Steady and calm.

It will find its way.

And so life is easy.

You are open.

As the river flows into the sea of endless opportunity.

Allowing freedom to flow around.

Allowing your blocks to dissolve.

Gently.

A rock turns into sand.

Eroded by time.

For gentle purpose.

The flow allows for answers.

So as you continue on your day,

Take this knowing,

This feeling,

And let it continue to dance within you as the water of a river dances on the river's bed.

Remember you are fluid.

And so life is easy.
