The sea of emotions

“The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. It defies all attempts to capture it with words and rejects all shackles. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t.”

Christopher Paolini

From http://siemprefeliz.com

“Emotions are like the sea upon which our ship sails, and we don’t try to control the sea, but instead we control our ship…

Our body is the ship that we are given when we were born, and we can learn more about our body and improve it so that it can sail through life more effectively.

Our mind is the captain of the ship, and we can either have an Ahab or Hook type of captain, or maybe one of the more heroic sea captains, but in any case, it’s up to us to either train or reform our minds to be better leaders and navigators…

Emotions are always flowing, and if it seems like we keep feeling certain emotions over and over, that’s only because we keep guiding our ship in that direction over and over. If we think angry, fearful, or sad thoughts all the time, the sea of emotions we sail through will feel that way…

We’re all sharing the sea of emotions, and we can sail through life however we want. Our work is to navigate our ship in the direction we want to go, exploring the waters, lands, and people that are interesting to us. We don’t need to get bogged down in emotions we don’t enjoy, or engage in naval warfare against someone else. Sometimes we’ll sail together, and sometimes we won’t, but the journey will always be interesting…”

River Flows In You

River
From Simply Spiritual Living

River Flows In You

If you have the time to share the road with me
If you can imagine we could both be free
What I long to do is give my heart to you
So that you can always hold it close to you

Holding you holding you
It’s in you the river flows in you
Slowly now slowly now
It’s in you the river flows in you

If you have the time to share the road with me
If you can imagine we could both be free

Holding you holding you
It’s in you the river flows in you
Slowly now slowly now
It’s in you the river flows in you

If you have the time to share the road with me
If you can imagine we could both be free
What I long to do is give my heart to you
So that you can always hold it close to you.
