If you feel lost, disappointed, hesitant, or weak, return to yourself, to who you are, here and now. And when you get there, you will discover yourself, like a lotus flower in full bloom, even in a muddy pond, beautiful and strong (Masaru Emoto)

Love’s Philosophy
by Percy Byshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

"El Rio de Luz" (The River of Light)

A Taoist story tells about an old man who stumbled as he walked beside a river and fell in.

Some onlookers were shocked to see that the strong current was carrying him to a place where the water cascaded over dangerous falls. Within minutes the unfortunate man had reached the danger spot and he was immediately lost to sight.

Fearing the worst the people soon came to a rough path which led down to the bottom of the falls. They were astonished to see the old man coming out of the water and, as it turned out, completely unharmed.

“How did you manage to survive?” they asked.

“Well,” he replied, ”I didn’t fight the water. I curled up and went with the swirl and came out with the swirl.”
