River and the Teachings Flow - Stream of Consciousness

please
listen
listen to the running water
running around us
dive below
surrounded
head breaking the surface
hair flowing in face
a beautiful moment

please
listen
to the sound of animals
that inhabit this land
the fish speak and the beavers
building their homes
tell us the truths
you desire.

let it go
let it all go
and listen,
pleasing are the words
that will be given
from nature
and life itself

dancing in the sky
the colors
of the frozen north
prove the truth
I demanded you find
standing in the rain
as it becomes snow
and understanding.
