A River’s Advice
By Sara Jane
Below you will find one of the series “Advice from…”
Having read it and always having loved being by streams and rivers, listening to the sound of the water, watching it tumble its way over rocks and stones, it spoke to me, so I have decided to share it here for you.
I always remember being told “still waters run deep”.
When we are still, we can take a deep dive into our own depths and realise there is so much more to us than others know or can even imagine.
More to us than we have allowed ourselves to explore, that supports us on this journey we call life.
Think of your life in terms of a river; at its source, its birth a little trickle of water, that grows and expands the further downstream it goes. Combining its waters with that of other streams and rivers, flowing ever onward through mountains and valleys, bringing life to the land that it touches, until it reaches the sea.
Advice from a River
By Ilan Shamin
Dear Friend
Go with the flow
Be thoughtful of those downstream
Slow down and meander
Follow the path of least resistance for rapid success
Immerse yourself in nature,
Trickling stream
Roaring waterfalls
Sparkles of light dancing on water
Delight in life’s adventures around every bend
Let difficulties stream away
Live simple and gracefully in Your own True Nature
Moving, flowing, allowing
Serene and on course
It takes time to carve the beauty of the canyon
Rough waters become smooth
Go around the obstacles
Stay current
The beauty is in the journey!


Rivers and streams are the life blood of our beautiful planet.
Namaste
Sara
