Like a flowing river
Life continues moving
Eddy out to linger in calmer waters
The currents will eventually shift you about
Swallow you up and spit you out
If you are passive
It will take you where it will
With no consideration for you–at all
Hit the rapids deliberately and with might
In order to stay afloat
Embrace your vulnerabilities
Hopefully you’ll stay upright
–but even still–
The river will take you where it will
Laugh at the absurdities
With joy and humility
Blast through the waves
Enjoy the madness of it all!
