"I am a river
Flowing endlessly to the Sea.
My eddies, rocks, and waterfalls
I once had dreamt were me.
But now that dream is ended;
My vision clear and free,
I know I am the river
Flowing endlessly to the Sea.
The Ocean is the Goddess.
My channel is Father Time.
Those eddies, rocks and waterfalls
Are lives I left behind.
Each bend conceals a life once lived;
Reveals the one ahead,
Like beads strung on a necklace
And the river is the thread.
Flowing endlessly to the Sea.
A necklace being strung with lives
That all are lived by me.
And when at last I reach that space,
Where dreams of Time are gone,
I'll know I am the necklace
When the Goddess puts me on....."
