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…
