Welcome home. You are already the water. You have always been the water. Sometimes we just forget. In here there are no shoulds. No “you have to improve.” No achievements to chase. Here you are simply allowed to be. You may sit in silence. You may share one drop of what you remember. You may stay in the ocean as long as you wish. Everything here is built on paradox: The less you try, the more you arrive. The less you speak, the more you are heard. The less you do, the more gets done. Strength is soft. Rest is movement. Death feeds life, and life feeds death. We do not resolve the paradoxes. We rest inside them. That is where the river feels most like home. Leave your shoes at the door (all the shoes named “I must become better,” “I must understand more,” “I must do it right”). Here we walk barefoot. Welcome to the river. It has been waiting for you. 🌊
