River Meditation 3/28/09

If you’re gonna want, you’d better allow too.

Allow it to flow.

Allow You to flow.

In and out, breathing, flowing.

Nighttime.  Large, waxing moon.  Imagine you’re sitting in a river.  The river is flowing on all sides of you, and you are safe and warm within it.  All of life, all that the Universe has to offer is flowing past you, through you, around you.  It is cool, cleansing, and refreshing to you.  Close your eyes and see all colors: energy flowing, all of life moving, changing, becoming.  Open your eyes and you see the river: beautiful in the moonlight, shimmering, flowing.  Shadows of trees on the banks, high cliffs above, heavy blanket of stars in the sky, fresh scent of nighttime in the air.  The river flows with the light of the stars.  You let go your hold and let yourself flow with it.  Tumbling through all experience, swimming with All That Is, encountering every possibility.  All of Life is flowing through you, and you through it.  Everything is vibrating as One, commingling.  All of nature - earth, water, plants, creatures, sky, distant planets; you feel them flowing through you, as you become them.  They inspire you to know yourself – to go deeper – to Love more – to be You.  And you flow.
