... THE FLOW

I have a certain love, it is swimming!
It isn't just the back strokes and the deep end adrenaline...
It is the clear blue water which beacons when I come around it
The first chill, as my feet says hello to the water
The love with which it receives my body as I fall headlong inside of it...


You see, the water is an amazing lover,
It's the kind of friend heaven sends once in a lifetime
It bears you with joy as you glide through it
It caresses you like a thousand feathers all purposed to please you
Provided you don't fuzz through it and flip flap like a penguin.


It is with life, as like a glide through water,
It has a flow...it has a rhythm to its music.
Each moment has its own joys,
Whatever pains accompanies the joys can be borne with grace,
Cos in the end, the universe knows just how to bear us as we glide along.


Oh mere mortals like us!
That we may not force the experiences of our lives to be a certain way,
But that we may receive each moment with unbridled exhilaration and grace
Peaceably discarding the previous moments for fresh new moments,
Aware that the mighty plans of God paints life with exquisite goodness...
Still aware that we are gliding with the flow of life!
