Watching Marianne Williamson on OWN discuss her run for congress. She said something that so resonated with me.
“We don’t want the 3rd act of our lives to be an imitation of the 2nd.”
I am 64. She is 61. My generation. She is brilliant. Listening to her lifts me. I divorced at the end of my 2nd act, and spent 5 years trying to discover a path that would work for me for the rest of my days on this planet. I found it, am still in discovery about it. I’m Learning to Live Like water.
I need to lean into this. Not into what had or hasn’t worked in the past. I was a novice when I met S. I did not really know what it would mean to Live like Water. I am still, and forever, trying to discover what it means, but I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt it is the path I want to follow. The 78th verse of the Tao Te Ching.
S used to say it meant going with the flow. I disagreed. I think it’s all about journey back to source. Water finds a way, whether it is to meander like a river, to pour rain down in a hurricane, to become a cloud, to carve the Grand Canyon. It always finds a way back to the ocean.
And to quote Rumi:
“You are not a drop of the ocean. You are the entire ocean in a drop.”
Fighting my way back to joy. 😊

I absolutely love your blog and find nearly all of your post’s to be exactly I’m looking for.
can you offer guest writers to write content for
you? I wouldn’t mind composing a post or elaborating on a number of the subjects you write with regards to here.
Again, awesome blog!
Thanks so much! I’m so glad it resonates with you, that’s the whole purpose isn’t it, to connect with like-minded people. 🙂 It’s nice to get confirmation that that has happened.
I had never considered a guest writer, but might be open to it. If you want to draft something, you can send it to me at livelikewater@comcast.net and I’ll consider it.
