The river flows...

Fresh feelings.. so good to write this now! The river flows... another relation flows by. During our lifetime we come across so many relations and each of them has a potential to affect us. So then what is the best way in a relation? How should we be in a relation, what should the relation be for us?
Be a river when you approach a relation, approach a river when you go to a relation.
Be like a river when you approach a friend, treat her like a river when you approach her.
A river is flowing and it remains fresh and is able to provide fresh water for all that approaches it on its journey called life. When the flow stops, it stagnates.
When we want fresh water we approach the river quench our thirst and then leave. We do not try to stop it and keep it to ourselves. For if we do so, it stagnates, it collects more of ills than goodwill.
The river on the other hand provides us the fresh water and leaves us. This is existence, this is the way of life. On the other hand if the river gets attached and stops, it collects more of dirt and foul smell and instead of providing the freshness, our relation with it is more of discomfort than bliss.

So remember - be a river in a relation. Do not try to hold on to a river or do not try to stop it- the essence is lost! When these are followed you will notice the river still is flowing for you with all the freshness and bliss.
