The River Longs to Return to the Ocean

 

Most people have not discovered a way to know their true nature or to become intimatewith their original mind. What these terms express is completely foreign to them. So I don’t think our focus on what is new and fast can ever deeply satisfy us in this way. It’s the repetition, the power of repetition, the very opposite of distraction that helps to calm and soothe the mind and heart.This is what gives us the sense that there is some place that is a refuge. A place that holds the assurance that we know we are here, that we can always return to this space and that we know how to arrive. We are going home. Like the river we’re runningto the ocean. That’s where we really want to go.
