My meditation today was centered around a concept that was recently brought to my attention during a Qigong training:
Be Like Water
- Powerful
- Fluid
- Unrelenting
Water has huge inherent strength and potential
- It easily moves around rocks or mountains that stand in its way
- It simply builds up and rises over dams that try to contain it
- It simply washes over or washes away all the little stuff
Water is equally powerful in any state
- Fluid it can nurture life and growth and it can move and destroy mountains
- Frozen it can bridge a gap or expand and break apart the strongest rock
- Vaporized to steam it can drive enormous turbines, convert chemical and molecular structures, and cleanse
Water has one purpose: to keep moving
It is patient and uncompromising in its nature and purpose
