In a world so rigid, we must flow

For if we don’t, we cease to grow

Like water ’round a riverbend

We learn to flow, we start to mend

Like tranquil oceans, summer sands

Like water flowing through our hands

If we learn to flow, we move so swift

Roll like a stream through nature’s gifts

Release yourself, embrace the flow

For a finer peace you’ll never know

I wanted to add a quick note to say that due to constraints on my side, I will be disabling comments on select posts for a short spell. I value and appreciate everyone’s comments, but at this time, as I transition into a new role, I have a bit extra on my plate. As such, I am having difficulty keeping up across multiple posts and can’t give them the attention they deserve.

I will still be leaving some open, but only what I think I can reasonably handle at this time. Thank you very much for reading and have a great day. 😊
