In its most-life giving state, water never flows in straight lines.

It flows downhill, through twists and turns, through difficulty and ease, from its source,

through many changes, ultimately back to its source.

What can be offered from the Source through any particular voice is limited,

a wake-up call for some, a lullaby for others.

On this path, some things are organized, much is not.

You may begin thinking you are looking for one thing,

but end up somewhere else entirely.

Aren’t we all looking for something not outside us, but inside,

in what these traditions call ruach, ruha, ruh? The “soul” or “spirit”?

If you find yourself lost, treasure the moment.

If you find your Self…. What then?
