“You can’t push the river.”
This quote says it all. If there’s ever a time for this quote, it has been this past year when timelines were totally out of our control. What we could do, though, was flow and trust the process!
So, if I can’t push the river, then what are my choices? You may not like these choices, but they can be some of the most empowering things we can do in life:
Let go
Trust the process
Let go
Breathe
Accept
Surrender
What happens to you when you accept what’s happening? How does this affect your mood, your nervous system, your behaviour in relationships, your attitude?

Waiting for, expecting, dreading or planning the outcome.
There is no outcome!
Everything should be neutralised!
We are just observers.
Know thine own self.
To Thine own self be true.

Hey you, treading the water
With your head dipping out of the clouds
Sinking down, down, down, down
Waving to the old crowd
And they send these things to try us
And try us they do (oh oh)
Don’t push the river, don’t push the river
Don’t push the river, let it carry you
I know that I’m a fine one
To be talking this way
I’ve been dragging the whole darn world
Behind me all day
No-one said it would be easy
And they never warned how hard
And I’ve been licking brand new wounds
And tending old scars
And they send these things to try us
And try us they do (oh oh)
Don’t push the river, don’t push the river
Don’t push the river, let it carry you
Over the endless troubles, over the trying times
These are the words of wisdom from a restless mind
Don’t push the river, don’t push the river
Don’t push the river, let it carry you
Don’t push the river, don’t push the river
Don’t push the river, let it carry you

“Don’t push the river, it flows by itself.” ~Chinese proverb
June 30th, 2010
Stepping out of the rushing river for a moment is not only difficult to do, it’s difficult to remember to do. It almost belongs on a “To Do” list: laundry, shopping, sitting still. How do we fit that into our day? Granted, it’s not really a chore. If it is, we’re not being present. But for many, it’s also probably not up there on the list of “Fun Things To Do In My Spare Time.”
Yet, regular practice of sitting still and being present can soften hardship and exhilarate joy. It allows the daily dust to settle and clears the fog of frenzy so that clarity of thought and pureness of heart can take their rightful places at the table.
Slow down. Invite the best parts of yourself. Welcome each to their place setting. Then quietly sit among them: patience, compassion, endurance, forgiveness. Offer them nourishment as you feast on silence. Refill their plates when they ask for seconds. Some have arrived malnourished. Dine on dignity, then toss the scraps of doubt.
When you and your guests are full, bid each one farewell. Invite them again, often. They will show their appreciation in ways that will surprise you.
