Be solid as stone.

But move as the purest stream.

Keep the flow steady.

yep

go with the flow,
as you remain steadfast
and true to your own heart

keep your thoughts
and actions
as pure
and unadulterated as you can

Ah yes,

was it Lao Tzu that said to attack the hard strong stone there is nothing better than the soft weak water?

(smiles) Yay! Oh, I love the contrasts in this, sweet friend, all of the elements of Mother Nature have them and this is one fine example, yay, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
