Bruce Lee must've read the 8th verse of the Tao when he said “Be Water My Friend.” Fela Anikulapo-Kuti wasn’t very far from the mark when he said “Water No Get Enemy”

This passage of the Tao encourages us to be like water. Nourishing all without judgement or expecting repayment. Our bodies and the earth are made up almost entirely of water (75% ish), but we somehow learn to be rigid and cling onto form. Water is adaptive to whatever state its in, yet we tend to have the urge to control everything.

The natural sense of calm I feel around any body of water, shows the powerful life/healing force that water has. Water as a liquid form of energy has a lot to teach us, if we’re receptive to its subtle lessons. Similar with love, if you try to grab onto water, it eludes you and escapes leaving you with nothing. But simply receive it with an open hand (Heart) and it stays. The ebb and flow of tides shows us the ephemeral nature of life. Learn to accept the going and the coming. The “good” and the “bad”.

Be like water. Go with the flow. Be who you are and choose to be a source of life giving energy on your journey through this dimension.
