I Find My Self - A Poem

This short poem expresses the delicate balance we all face daily between fighting against the flow of life with the need to surrender to it. It evokes imagery of rivers, birds, wind, and the sun - acting as mindful triggers of acceptance.

Transcript

I find myself standing in a river, Hands outstretched, Struggling in a futile attempt to hold back the flow, Fretting over all the water slipping through my fingers, And the erosion underfoot threatening to dislodge my fragile defiance. Then, A bird call, A gust of wind, A glimpse of sunshine, A moment of surrender. I let go and just float, Trusting the river to take me wherever I need to be.
