Drinking the water


drinking the water
becoming one with it
sharing its essence
its life force

drinking the water
sharing with it
the journey it is on

becoming a portion
a stop on its journey
the water abiding
while it walks with us

a quote by Taisen Deshimaru
If you have a glass full of liquid you can discourse forever on its qualities, discuss whether it is cold, warm, whether it is really and truly composed of H-2-O, or even mineral water, or saki. Meditation is Drinking it!”
