How Do We Want To Float?

From the moment we are born we begin our journey down the river of time…it's the same river everyone travels…it's where all our journey's blend…however…we don't control how long we'll be on the river…or when our journey ends. We are floating solo…on the river of time there is no boat… what determines the type of journey we will have is how we choose to float If we float with love in our hearts…with kindness, compassion and honesty…with our hearts unburdened we are light up on the water and we float more effortlessly. We float more peacefully this way…how smoothly across the water we glide…we lay back, allowing the current to take us…and there's a good chance…we enjoy the ride. If we float with anger, hatred and resentment…this burdens our heart…acting like weights…pulling us down…and as we float across the water…there's a good chance we might drown. Our floating is more labored…more painful….our discomfort we can't hide…we work to keep our heads above the water and it's so much harder to enjoy the ride. Knowing our journey on the river of time will one day come to an end…as it does for everyone…there is a question we must ask ourselves before our journey's done… Since our ride will not last forever…since one day our time on the river will cease… would we rather float in pain… or do we prefer to float in peace.
