The Wisdom of the River and the Freedom of Love

Accept it, my child, the inevitable course of the river to the sea and bless the spring, even if the entire river is lost at its mouth. Allow love to also cry its fears. Thus is the wisdom of never damming life within ourselves…

In each drop that flows down the stream, there is a story, a dream, a hope. The river, in its relentless journey, teaches us to accept the flow of life, to understand that every beginning, no matter how humble, carries within it the promise of a grand destiny. The spring, with its purity and strength, deserves our blessing, for it is the starting point of all possibilities.

Even when the river is lost in the vastness of the sea, it does not disappear; it transforms, merges with something greater, finding a new purpose. So too is love, which must have the freedom to express its fears and insecurities. Allowing love to cry is to acknowledge its humanity, its depth. It is through these tears that it strengthens, purifies, and finds the courage to continue.

True wisdom lies in not damming life within us. We must let it flow freely, accepting its curves, its falls, its changes of course. Each moment, each emotion, is an essential part of this journey. By blessing the spring and allowing love to cry, we embrace the totality of the human experience, and thus, find the peace and wisdom that come with acceptance and freedom. 🙏🏾❤️
