The Art of Living
Be like the lily in a pond
let life come up to you
like the water lapping up against the flower.
Let life shape you
rather than chasing after it
watching it run ahead, just out of reach.
Then effortlessly
a smorgasbord of choices
will be drawn to appear right in front of you.
This poem came about because I am often suggesting to my clients to stop chasing after things, as that action seems to push things further away. And to instead think of a lily in a lily pond. With the water gently lapping up against it ... letting life come to us, in that gentle open space we have allowed.
Peace to you all,
Love Janice
