This is so good. I am actually reading it differently when I picture different angles. When read straight, I see it as a person in a relationship mirroring the other person, not actually communicating what they want, being a pushover, being a non-individual. When read like the river is just a river, it becomes about the viewer seeing the truth of their existence reflected back at them. When viewed as the river mirroring the viewer, I see it as the river morphing to their desire, reflecting what they WANT to see, rather than truth. Good? No, masterful.
Every single one JUST GETS BETTER
For sure, for sure. Sometimes we look in the river and like not what we see. Beware your soul looking back, mirroring you. I love this.
This is Truth!! So very well done. A life lesson in eleven words.
So why not take the plunge & swim in the miracle that is you?
