Jamaica Welcome from Camille

Water and life...

 
The highest goodness is like water.
Water easily benefits all things without struggle.
Yet it abides in places that men hate.
Therefore it is like the Tao.

For dwelling, the Earth is good.
For the mind, depth is good.
The goodness of giving is in the timing.
The goodness of speech is in honesty.
In government, self-mastery is good.
In handling affairs, ability is good.

If you do not wrangle, you will not be blamed.

- Tao Te Ching

 
Have you ever watched a river or stream? Do you see how totally aimless but purposeful it runs along its course? It has no real schedule; it has no agenda; it has no worries; it knows no set destination or purpose; it doesn't try to force its way into the crevices or through rocks... it only flows along it's path... seemingly careless, but very purposeful... going somewhere in no real hurry.

That's how we ought to traverse life. With no worries and no headaches. Seemingly as if we have no place to go, but with a definate purpose in life. Instead of fighting against the rocks in our river beds, just find ways around them - ever onwards to our destination. A destination we may not know of just yet... and may not know until we get there. And, rest assured knowing that the destination is not the important point - not where it is and when we'll get there - not even concerend with how we're going to get there... just think of the here and now... what's important is today and those people around you now.

Enjoy life!

Blessings we have in life.
Don't despair, be at peace
And know that you are loved!
