What the River Says

I walked through a canyon along the river and asked her to receive the spirit of my recently deceased friend, Willie. The river replied, “He is already here—I thought you understood.” Later I spoke with Willie’s wife, Winona. She asked if she would see Willie again. I said, “Sit by the river and wait. You will feel his presence.” Winona wept and knew this was true.

The river courses though each of us, dancing as the dakini of the water element. We should listen to her wisdom. As William Stafford wrote: “We know the current is there, hidden; and there are comings and goings from miles away that hold the stillness exactly before us. What the river says, that is what I say.”

🙏🏼Much Love,

Michael
