Our lives are an embodiment of sacred rivers!

"Out of your innermost being will flow rivers of living water."

Jesus

When we view our lives as human expressions of rivers - which is easy to do, especially when our very blood is composed of the water arising from a local water source - then we don't take too seriously any of our mental or emotional states.

Whether feeling calm or turbulent, we realize that liberation comes from identifying with the seamless flow of the river itself, which in the case of our spiritual Source, has neither beginning nor end!
