Jo Beverley Quotes

If you act like the river, you ultimately flow past all the rocks along the way.

The river itself portrays humanity precisely, with its tortuous windings, its accumulation of driftwood, its unsuspected depths, and its crystalline shallows, singing in the Summer sun. Barriers may be built across its path, but they bring only power, as the conquering of an obstacle is always sure to do. Sometimes when the rocks and stone-clad hills loom large ahead, and eternity itself would be needed to carve a passage, there is an easy way around. The discovery of it makes the river sing with gladness and turns the murmurous deeps to living water, bright with ripples and foam.

It would be better to be able to take the leap, which is to be able not only to live with change and newness, but even to help make it.

Move with the flow. Don't fight the current. Resist nothing. Let life carry you. Don't try to carry it.
