| Copper Creek I hear the restless water beckoning to me waves clapping, slapping, turning and thrusting Old lives die and new ones begin, Trusting Why would I limit myself to what once was when I am limitless & I could be - - Infinity! I am all water - shapeshifting, misting I am all air - blowing, igniting I am all earth - receptive and verdant I am all fire - passionate and consuming I am all ether - silent, yet everpresent All am I - good and bad worn and new, toxic and pristine As the copper creek merges into the freshly churned river all my shortcomings are contained and caressed by the One. Why travel upstream - fighting to recall past polluters - when I could let go, merge with the One & flow to my destiny! When waters call, I will go I - the many - seeking to be one & if I fear to lose myself & draw back Then I lose life itself! Give up the fear - it serves me not Never comes the door when fear is not holding it open (Always comes the door which Life is holding open) Inviting, yet warning, "You will change forever!"
