Drinking the water – v4


drinking the water
diving in, open
becoming one with it
sharing its essence
its life force, power

drinking the water
sharing with it, becoming
melted, molded, woven
your life, your story
the journey it is taking

becoming a portion, a droplet
a part of the vast ocean
a stop on its sojourn
the water abiding
while it walks with us

“Drinking the water”
in response to post by Richard Tackett
on Facebook:
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!”
