Be Like Water

Sitting by this waterfall, I watched how the water calmly formed in a pool at the top, then turbulently cascaded down the rocks, only to return to calm in the pool below.  Then I thought, while the water was turbulent, was it not still calm?  Did it not fall over the rocks without obstruction, not letting the rocks impede its path?  Or cause it pain or suffering?  The water just found a way to fall around the rocks, to continue its journey, only to once again find a place of calm.

We must be like the water in jungle waterfall.  When the turbulence arises, when the obstacles come, we do not need to run up against them.  We must find a way through, around, over, because we must continue our tasks unimpeded.

Be like water, and continue your journey without pain and suffering.
