Moving waters, shaping earth, carrying life forward.
origins
Since ancient times, rivers were seen as lifelines of the land — sacred boundaries, places of offering, and pathways to the sea.
meaning
Flow, change, nourishment. The river shows that all journeys move and transform, never still yet always whole.
today
River teaches us to release control and allow movement. It reminds us that life carries us onward, even when the path curves unseen.
practice
Sit by running water, or imagine its sound. Ask: What is flowing in me now, and what is ready to move on?
endurance
Rivers endure by wearing down mountains and carving valleys — patient strength in endless motion.
