Water Always Finds Lowest Ground

A great realization arrived over the weekend--movement meditation is of upmost importance during these challenging times and in life which has amped up a few notches of late. When feeling pulled into reports and news about Ukraine/Russia, walking meditation calls as a way to move through strong emotions. One of the biggest felt benefits of walking meditation is getting outside where the sweet earth performs her magic ~ it never fails to calm and sooth.

On a recent walk, this little ditty came forth. Please enjoy:

Spring runoff
gurgling through the meadow
sings a wisdom — Water always knows where it’s going, without hesitation, without stopping, it moves ever toward lowest ground. Water never clings to mountain top as it melts and flows away. Water never doubts — Where am I going? What am I doing? It is water and it always finds Source.

Why are we any different?
We are not.
When like water,
we enter
the melt of life.
Let go the ledge,
take all energy
used to fight,
and open wide.
Resist not
lowest ground—
You are Source—
compassion’s nectar,
one drop,
singing
through the meadow.
