Trying to end a waterfall
Can destroy you.
Such massive power,
Eternal energy
Crashing over you,
Through you
The force will crush you
If you stand against it
Grinding you into dust
Against the rocks beneath it
There is no shutting it down
There is only yielding,
Letting go
And allowing it to flow through you
Becoming the channel
That transforms the churning foam
Into an alchemy of love and healing-
Or imploding on the stones below
