Living like a River by Andre Brooks Flowing like the never ending moments in life. Stick your hand in; not being able to grasp anything. Focused on something that already passed you by. Causing you to miss what is in front of you now. Take a moment to enjoy, to live, to admire. To be thankful for your moments. To live your life to the fullest now and not hope for the future. To live your life now and not worry about the past. To stop trying to control the current of your life. To go with the flow and let God’s plan for you pan out. Those who died today had plans for tomorrow and worried about yesterday. Don’t take the water in front of you for granted and cherish the cool, smooth, wet, and calming presents it has in your life. Learn to be comfortable when something alters your flow and ruins your momentum. It is not about waiting for the bad to pass, but learning to appreciate the good along with the bad. Acknowledging that with good comes bad. While loving the water flowing through your fingers, no matter how it feels or looks.
