"Be Like Water." - It's Complicated!

"Be like water." (See previous post). But even that simple advice gets complicated. If you are water in sub-zero temperatures you become ice. And you freeze in place. And you can be broken into little icy shards, disintegrate into a million tiny pieces, like little shining stars.

And if you are water, and it's super-hot, sizzling hot, you boil, and evaporate. You disappear into a mist in the air, you become a cloud of water, you melt into the sky.

Bob Dylan once sang a song "Watching the River Flow." But really you want to be that river, a sweetly flowing river. Or you want to be a sweetly babbling brook, or a waterfall, or a beautiful blue ocean.

But if you are like water you have to be up for all of these things. So yes, it gets complicated.
