Take time this month to tap into the river of intuition that flows just below the surface of consciousness. Rest easy, knowing that all the answers are already within you. Find stillness and let truth float to the surface.
A River of Knowing
by Terre Ouwehand
There is a river
of Knowing.
All are called.
All may drink.
Drawn by some deep
instinct, disclosed or un—
Some take a drop on their lips,
others gulp unutterable draughts,
some wash sleep from their eyes
All are called.
All are welcome.
Some are not thirsty,
others bring no ladle,
some find the taste unpleasing,
some do not trust the well-spring.
O mortal,
take a spoon
and measure the volume
of your soul.
