like the flowing river

be like the flowing river.
silent in the night.
be not afraid of the dark.
if there are stars in the sky,
reflect them back.
if there are clouds in the sky,
remember, clouds, like the river, are water.
so, gladly reflect them too,
in your own tranquil depths.

my brother said this yesterday when we were talking about finding-myself and i think it's pretty interesting:

our true self is when we are as pure as a newborn baby. even if we are trying to find ourselves, right now, it is not the truest since we are influenced by our environment and circumstances.



it is the most idealistic point of view, however, it is true.
