The Wild River Within - October 23

There’s a spirit within you that moves like a river — alive, dynamic, and full of energy. What might happen if you let that spirit flow freely, without restraint? In today’s 5 Minutes In Nature, Liz reflects on how the River Exe has been gradually built up and confined over time. She sees in it a metaphor for her own life, noticing the beliefs and thoughts she’s collected through the years that have kept her contained — preventing her from flowing with the wild freedom of a natural river.

Thanks Liz 🙏🏼
This is great… society and its expectations contain us.
The River Exe just wants to flood and spend its built up energy, it is only doing what it’s Natiure is, it is in control of creating new pathways, this is how landscapes change in Natures world. But people live in the path of where the Rivers natural urge is to go, so people contain the River. The built up wall to me is a metaphor for how hard attitudes also contain people’s natural way of being.
I find in these years our spirit is released more and we don’t have to conform to what society has demanded in our previous decades.

I love that, it makes me feel better about my current struggle with what I'm meant to do.
