Life shows me all I need to know (The Stream)

One year ago:
I have learned (by trial and error) to make an advantage out of "the stream". Instead of trying to control everything , I have learned to let everything go, like a stream of water flowing from a mountain top. I tell you; this is not always easy! No, this is hard as Rock sometimes, but eventually the water will make the rock disappear. I know this is true. Letting go, trust that this is the best way to discover my real life purpose is difficult and scary, but IF I do, I only find that it is true. No resistance, no fear, just a stream, like a river flowing and flowing. On my way through the flow, I recognize all life is showing me, all that is significant for me to experience and hopefully I learn from that. I can even sometimes regulate the forward speed of my stream, I can sit in the middle or by the side, depending on the velocity of events I want to create in my life. This all is of-course a creative process in which I let my mind decide how I want to experience the Flow. Instead of trying to control, I have learned to trust my own creativity and my own heart.
I Go with the Flow , I mean Stream, I mean uh River, ah well you know what I mean~ :-)

Hi Leendert,
To your valuable expression above, I give the following reply :
The river
dances ahead
with Joy,
for meeting
the Ocean,
the Vast.

Hi Leendert, I was going to send you a message asking you are but that is not necessary as I have read your blog and your words “I have learned to let everything go”.
Therein lies my answer, and I am happy for you.
Ian.
PS.
One of my aphorisms is “Let go - and win!”
