Downstream Thoughts

Written by Debbie Kesley

Bobbing on a float of vivid images toward a destination

of all that feels good.

I release my wandering thoughts downstream.

The life flow of all Universal forces

lap gentle and soothing undercurrents to

guide and sustain me on my natural way.

Surges of energy present moments when

urges to grab and cling to past strong holds in my

memory still tempts me upstream to the familiar.

Aware of a powerful eruption of contrast between

my common emotional shores and the desire in which I

was born to flow and choose to venture.

Oars of direction are anchored between my ears with each

and every thought I give my attention to.

Familiar calls to join the popular and hypnotic communal

bonfire of the crowd demand my participation; however,

I surrender to the unknown bend around the corner where

Spirit calls my soul downstream to my place of joy and peace.

With a deep sigh and trusting heart,

I embrace the direction of the natural flow of my life.

Releasing the death grip to dying branches along the way

that no longer supports this Guided journey towards

all that is uniquely Me by

focusing my thoughts downstream.
