Back Currents
flowing and swirling
down and along
back currents, eddies
still moving on
water is oneness
water's alive
always in motion
as each of us strive
to stand in the torrent
resisting its flow...
smoothly eroding
all that we know
water is gentle
persistently strong
water returns us
to where we belong..
splashing and crashing
mixing with air
water is loving
but doesn't care
water keeps rising
into the sky
molecular mystery
how it can fly...
water is inside
all whom we see
water is all that
allows us to be
flowing and swirling
down and along
back currents, eddies
still moving on

Beautiful thoughts. I've always been a water baby but never thought of it this way. "water's alive
always in motion "...I love it! Thanks once again for my dose of deep thinking and zen.

'water is loving
but doesn't care'
Oh, how like the human experience! And yet so devoid of it at the same time.
Write On!

The back currants sounds a lot like life, but we somehow keep flowing along, nothing being permanent, such a serene thought. I love the video, made me think of Franconia Notch, New Hampshire again, it's a great memory despite the five hour car ride to get there :)
