I Would Love to Live Like a River Flows
As we recognize Earth Day, and with the words of John O'Donohue, Celtic philosopher, poet, and nature lover guiding us, we will explore our relationship with rivers and our interdependence, focusing on the integral role they play in our spiritual journeys. We recognize the flow of these rivers of life as a metaphor for the flow of our own lives, and we honor the ecosystem of wisdom they offer; one that holds life lessons for each of our journeys. "I would love to live like a river flows. Carried by the surprise of its own unfolding." ~John O'Donahue
