Be With The Flow Poem by Daniel Trevelyn Joseph

You can’t step into the same river twice,
Said the wise old Greek long ago;
He could have made it ‘flowing river’:
But can we call them rivers, if dry?

Even though dry, when I step in
Second time, am I the same?
Cells and thoughts have changed
In the time between the two.

New experiences, new skills,
New food, new revelations,
New appointments and disappointments
Keep flowing into life.

Gautam Buddha starts with aniccha:
Heraclitus was and is right,
You cant step into it twice,
Age cannot wither life’s
Infinite changes and variety:
In change lies beauty.
