river awakens
to a new day, a new way
bending with life
~
molded by nature
season after season
old river
The New Year is a time to look back, see were we've been and were we want to go. We can't change where we've been, only were we may go from here. Like a river, we flow year to year, day to day, moment to moment. Embracing the cycle of life.

I do like the spectrum of possibility in 'bending with life'.

Love your drawing. Happy New Year!
thought-provoking, Brian.
jemima- a spectrum, good way of seeing it!
roswila- sensuality of nature. Precious poem. Thank you.

Love the river analogy. Like a river, we never go the same way twice--and we leave our footprints even in rock.
Wonderful image and text!

Lovely images of a river flowing into a new year....
Thank you for making me think. Loved this.
Beautiful stuff. Zen and Taoism, which I've been reading about lots over the past several years, really helped me get through my dad's death just before Christmas.
Realizing the connection between all things opens one's heart.
jblack- welcome! yes, we never go the same way twice, even if we think we do...
luisa- wonderful meandering to the ocean - to the source...
crafty & 101- thank you.
dan- thanks. I too read the dharma and find it very helpful. It helped me deal with my father's passing almost two years ago. It's wonderful you have some understanding around the connection of life and death (and all points in between). I wish you well, with the healing and growth around your dad's death.
~Peace to all.
"bending with life" and "molded by nature" were very powerful. Excellent!
Very nice! I love the imagery and your artwork! Thank you!
