Life by the River

Settled at last. After all these years of searching and wandering, I truly believe that this new life by the river with Vasudeva is where belong. I have learned how to do many things such as how to look after the boat, how to work in the rice field, how to make oars, how to improve the boat, and how to make baskets. All of these activities just brought me absolute pleasure. Although working with Vasudeva has taught me much, I learned even more from the river. Every moment, everyday, I listen to the river. I learn how to listen by listening. To listen without judging, to listen with an open mind, to listen with a still heart.

Epiphany! This river is everywhere at once! It has no set beginning, middle, or end. Just like time. Time does not exist! What matters is the PRESENT.
I've also noticed that the holy "Om" sound that emanates from the river, is a combination...no, more of unity of all voices of all objects, animals, people!
