Sometimes it feels like we are flowing with the river, and sometimes it feels like life is moving so rapidly that we can only hold on with white knuckles as life tows us top speed in its bumpy wake.
What is the water like in your life today?

So Much is in Bud
We have only begun to know
the power that is in us if we would join
our solitudes in the communion of struggle.
So much is unfolding that must
complete its gesture,
so much is in bud.
–Denise Levertov
What do you see unfolding in the world that you hope will complete its gesture?
Inadvertent Service
Much of our food supply depends upon the pollination activity of bees, those diligent little workers. Of course, bees have no interest in our food security, or even the health of the plants which depend on them—they are simply trying to feed themselves and their family. Sometimes just getting done what needs to get done is a greater service than we know.
What will you be proud to get done today?
Shaken Awake
“My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.”
―Adyashanti
What words have shaken you awake?
Jumping on the Bridge
The joy of a small suspension bridge is that you can bounce on it, sending a wave of motion down the length to jog whoever might be further along than you. Of course we know that our actions have an impact on others, but we rarely get to see the effect so directly.
What little leap will you take today to affect the life of someone else?
