THE WISDOM OF THE RIVER
On Following Your Unique Knowing
by Maja Apolonia Rode
•
Everyone
lives
at a unique
and unprecedented
forefront of evolution —
worthy of honor and respect
and a deep bow of acknowledgment
for the mystery they alone have been tasked
to navigate.
Their mystical medicines may or may not
be good for you — as confident as
they may appear in their
prescriptions.
What is medicine for some
is poison for others.
Beware,
no one can ultimately know
the impact of their potions and their notions
on your specific molecular structure.
Your intimate self-knowledge
is the only proof of truth
that matters
Here.
And,
here is
an even more
fundamental plea:
Don’t even believe your own thoughts.
Your limited logic cannot
know the right
next move.
Only with
your whole being —
body, mind, and heart together —
only with the totality of your sensing capacity
can you perceive the Whole Unfolding,
and know what is so
in the flow
as you
go.
Listen to
the resonances
and heed the dissonances
that reverberate in the musical instrument
that is your living, breathing, blood-pumping body.
Thus
shall you learn
the wisdom of the river
and your relationship
to its winding and
weaving and
wondrous
ways.
