LIFE

 “Where there is love there is life.” 

 Mahatma Gandhi 

“There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle.

 The other is as though everything is a miracle.”

  Albert Einstein

She sat by the river bed and watched as the water trickled gently caressing, kissing, hugging the pebbles and rocks, as it washed their delicate, harsh grey and colored skins, moisturizing them, clearing them, embracing them, giving them life.

Life! she thought. "What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us in its many circumstances if we do not use the tools that are given to us through the heart. When we don't turn in and listen to that still peaceful, quiet voice within that for sees what may be coming into our lives and keeps us from falling in places that are not much fun to endure. That voice that calls us to awaken, that lies deep within the soul, the essence of the Light of who we truly are. The life saver that brings us afloat when we make choices derivatives from fears and uncertainty. That voice that calls us through a song, a phone call, a nudge, a whisper, a thought.

She then bends and rests her knees on the delicate silk grass that stretches comfortably on the side of the river bed.  She views her quivered reflection on the mirror of the water, where a gentle small waterfall in the middle, center of the shallow waters runs through inviting her to come in. She touches the water with her delicate fingers and feels the cold, fresh, enticing water run through them awaking something in her, a sensation of bliss, while the waterfall in the center of the river continued to greet and invite her to come in and rest beneath it.

She gently took of her clothes and stepped into the ice cold water as she stretched and swam to lay underneath the waterfall, that awakened every part of her being. She loved it! A giggle came from her soul as she felt embraced by nature and its nakedness and purity. What a delight, as she rested her back and felt the water run through her every particle and the sun shining its face and rays upon her skin warming, cuddling her, embracing her as it did with the rocks and the pebbles and any other living thing that was blessed by the water; giving her one of the best and most pleasurable experiences of life.

Life! What a curious thing. It takes us to places one would've never known and may drown us if we don't listen to that still small voice called: "LOVE!"
