Two weeks ago, I went walking with my friend in Votier Flats. Even though it was quite warm out at 10 in the morning, the park was full of walkers, hikers, bikers, and large groups. We spent most of our time walking along Fish Creek and when we could, going right down to the edge of the creek.
As I watched the creek, I noticed how the water hurried along in some places and in other places, seemed to stand still. I could see where the water worked away against a large rock, batting away at the rock as it tried to wear it down.
I marvelled at the patience of the water, how it seemed to be happy to bat at the rock, and swirl in an eddy at a large bank, and yet be gentle along a sandy strip of beach. People are not nearly so patient or so adaptable. It seems that most people strike out rather than patiently finding a way to get what they need. When we are demanding, we are out of balance with everything and we end up getting in our own way.
Many blessings,
Judy
