it is as it is

[Julie]

Our journey here on earth is not meant to be hard, or easy, it is as it is...

like a stream flowing to the sea
the stream wears away rocks
this it does without thinking
the water cuts new channels
this it does without thinking
the water just flows where it needs to flow
to get to the ocean and become as the ocean

maybe the stream knows it is the ocean while it is still a stream and
is pulled gently onwards to unite with this body of water, known as the
sea...we came from the sea, we came to the land, we experienced the sun
and the rain and the wind, the frost and the snow, the heat and the
cold, so much more extreme than being a creature of the sea...the sea
was a vast womb of birthing, we moved from the sea and experienced fear
of the unknown, we did not know such fear before, we were at one with
the element of water as we were so gently cradled by the water, so
safe...we began to forget the experience and nurturing of the ocean's
womb ...we long to go back to this safety, the oneness with water. We
needed to experience all there is, all that was offered by the life on
dry land, we have done this and gained knowledge...this was all that
was needed, to see the skies, to experience all the elements that our
humanity had to offer us.

effortless, without reasoning
knowing all is one with the ocean
knowing the essence of water
enjoying the experience of water
knowing the deep stillness that lies
at the bottom of the ocean
knowing the movement of water as the
wind ruffles the surface
knowing the movement just below the surface
is an effect of the movement on top
but always knowing the deep stillness of the water
as it rests gently on the bottom of the ocean
for we are all of the ocean
we are the water of the ocean
the water is our ancient being
we are all as vast and ancient as the oceans that cover our planet

may the world always have clean water
may each man, woman and child feel the benefit of having enough clean water
may we all recognise water as being very precious
may nobody have to witness a lack of pure healing water in their life
may all the animals of the ocean feel the benefit of abundant unpolluted water

Glad you enjoyed, I'm keeping a lookout for more lengthy tales I've written but for now I'm having some time out.  I've had busy week, doing a clean for mum to give her a break as she's not been well for several weeks.  Also taking the opportunity to do some more painting, a mini holiday at home.
