Watching Water

Watching Water

Humans

Try to dam it

Try to divert it

Try to collect it

In the end we can't control it

Surrender

Something greater reclaims it

Back to the rivers

Back to the clouds

Back to the sea

It all ends up where it needs to be

This poem is one example of man's need to control.  We try to control nature, our children, our employees, our future, and our fate.  In the end, we realize that life flows at its own will despite all of our efforts to manipulate it.  Today, I am practicing the art of letting life flow simply watching where it takes me.
