Hello Birdy
Nice idea for a thread. I think there is another thread asking for favourite quotes, but perhaps we can expand this to include longer quotes and poems that hold some significance for us. Here is one I like.
The Trough
There
is a trough in waves,
a
low spot
where
horizon disappears
and
only sky
and
water
are
our company.
And
there we lose our way
unless
we
rest, knowing the wave will bring us
to
its crest again.
There
we may drown
if
we let fear
hold
us within its grip and shake us
side
to side
and
lead us flailing, torn, disoriented.
But
if we rest there
in
the trough,
in
silence,
being
with
the
low part of the wave,
keeping
our energy and
noticing
the shape of things,
the
flow,
then
time alone
will
bring us to another
place
where
we can see
horizon,
see the land again,
regain
our sense
of
where
we
are,
and
when we need to swim.

I hope you also find a meaning in this.
