River
This simple prayer/poem is an extended metaphor for the interior landscape of challenge and change. It will appear in my forthcoming book, Song of the Spiritual Traveler.
Please listen along as you read. (Click on the triangle in the bar below. The text follows.)
River
River and free.
River and free.
Current and rapid.
River and free.
Ocean and gone.
Ocean and gone.
Storm and gale.
Ocean and gone.
Tide and return.
Tide and return.
Whitecap and wave.
Tide and return.
Eddy and flow.
Eddy and flow.
Headwater. Backwater.
Eddy and flow.
River and free.
River and free.
Boat and paddle.
River and me.
