''The River and the Rock''
Would that I too were a river
that rose to level of the rock
I would slowly and surely rise to the challenge before me
and eventually surpass any block
And whatever terrain I encounter
be it canyon or rocks bent on wrath
They would never affect my progress to my goal
but would simply mean I alter my path
Nor would I fear any precipice
nor any cliff no matter how tall
But leap self-assured that the best is yet to be
for water displays much beauty when it falls
And in the process of seeking my own level
eventually I would reach the sea
And reunited with the source from whence I have come
I'd become the very thing I seek to be!
THE MORAL OF THE STORY:
The river rises to the level of any obstruction.
The terrain only affects the river's path, not its progress.
The river is not afraid to fall.
The river seeks the path of least resistance.
And eventually becomes the thing it seeks.
[Excerpt from The River And The Rock by Walt Goodridge, an unpublished manuscript] Note: The first few Walt's Friday Inspiration emails included quotes from various authors and personalities. It wasn't until episode 19 that I tried my hand at writing the rhyme-based inspirational messages myself. The rest, as they, is history...
