​Absolutely, it's like being in a river. When we try to control everything, it's as if we're trying to stop the river's flow. We might feel safe for a while, but we're actually cutting ourselves off from the life-giving current. On the other hand, when we're in a state of collapse, it's as if we've been swept away by the river. We're overwhelmed and scared, but we're also in the flow. We're part of something bigger than ourselves. We're connected to the world around us in a way we can't be when we're trying to control everything. So, the key is not to try to stop the river, but to learn how to swim in it. To trust in the flow and let it carry us. This doesn't mean we give up control completely. We still need to steer ourselves, to avoid the rocks and the dangerous currents. But we also need to let go, to trust in the flow, to be open to the unknown. That's where real life is. That's where hope is. That's where we find the strength to keep going, even when things are tough. Because we're not alone. We're part of the flow. And the flow is life itself.
