Where Energy Flows

The name of this poem is Flow, author unknown, and it speaks eloquently about the important movement of water in our lives. Water is the element in feng shui that teaches us about our life’s path journey or Career. The color representing water, deep water, is black and the very dark navy blues. Round free form shapes and curving lines symbolize water in our environments, as well as, of course, the actual element of water. When we have strong water in our personality, we have the ability to adapt well, and to flow around rather than trying to push through obstacles in our way. We can change our minds easily and literally go with the flow!

Be as water is

Flow around the edges of those within your path

        Without friction

Surround within your ever moving

       depths those who come to rest there.

Enfold them

          while never for a moment hold on.

Accept whatever distance others

        are moved within your flow

Be with them gently

As far as they will allow your strength to take them

And fill with your own being

The remaining space when they are left behind.

When dropping down life’s rapids

                  Froth and bubble if you must

Knowing that one of you now many

              Will just as many times be one again.

And when you have gone as far as you can go

                    Quietly await

                                your next beginning…
