water water everywhere...

I have often wondered about the human fascination with moving water. Waterfalls, rapids, waves...all of these things seem to touch some deep trigger within our... collective psyche that cause us to stop and just....watch. Please allow me to wax metaphorical when I say that it might just be a subconscious observation of life itself and how it flows in an around us every day. Its like we are in a liquid environment....a constant and simultaneously ever-changing flow that we can never quite get to stop. Our options are to sit on the shore and watch, jump in and fight and thrash to stay in one place, or just literally go with the flow. One thing we cannot do is stop it. You can cup the water of life in your hands, but you can't keep it there for long. I have found that the practice of going with the flow works out the best, but, sometimes that water starts moving VERY quickly and its tough to navigate...and even tougher to hold on to. Every once in a while its nice to slip into an eddy or a protected cove and reflect. I guess that's probably my main reason for writing a blog...taking time to reflect and being able to come back and revisit my own musings in the future is an important way to immerse myself in the flow of life and appreciate every wave.
