Be Like Water

I decided to take the hand water offered me yesterday
and embark on an exploration-adventure with water.

"If nothing in you stays rigid, 
outward things will disclose themselves."
For someone who undoubtedly has some inner rigidity,
this should be interesting.

The current conflict regarding our local flood plain ordinance comes to mind.
Can becoming water be the key to protecting the river?
In a way, I/we are already mostly water, physically speaking;*
so this should be easy, right?  
I continue to struggle with the passivity.  
Look where that has gotten us with our homeland, Earth.

What if we realize we ARE the river? 
What if we could activate the power of water to save her?
Namaste'



*(Up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to Mitchell and others (1945), 
the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. 
The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%.)
