We needed a new roof. We had someone come out to look at it and give us an estimate. We were talking about the leaks we had and the Estimator said “water always finds a way”. The way he said it, I could feel the absoluteness in his voice. Those words stuck with me. It’s another Life Lesson disguised in ordinary conversation. How can we learn and be like water to always find a way?
I pondered all the forms that water takes - liquid, mist, ice, clouds, steam. It’s really quite impressive how versatile it is. It morphs into what is needed, it always finds a way. That gave me encouragement to follow suit. Maybe instead of being frozen in fear, I can melt into a fluid form of courage; or instead of being stuck in old thought patterns and habits, I can try a new way of being - still me, but an appropriate form needed for living an extraordinary life. We are made up of about 70% of water, just like Mother Earth. Maybe that is why being around large bodies of water is so soothing. Just like the oceans and deep lakes hold all kinds of secrets, I think we do too. By secrets I mean yet undiscovered treasures within. Think of all the sunken ships filled with untold bounty. In order to find it, there is a lot of work involved, just like our own hidden treasures. It takes work, sometimes catastrophic weather to manifest them. Life is like that. We all go through challenges and trials - divorce, abuse, unfairness, loss of a loved one, sickness etc. Each experience asks us to morph into a different version of ourselves. It’s always up to us to choose to change for the better. Just like water, we can always find a way. Here is one of my favorite smoothie recipes, where water finds a way to blend with other ingredients to make something delicious. Sometimes the best things in life are simple, like this recipe.
