Waterfall

He stands face to face with a beautiful waterfall.
It is at once so beautiful, innocent, free and powerful.
And peaceful.

He admires it for a while with a sense of reverence and at the same time guilt.
Why guilt?
He is not as innocent and beautiful from within.

He longs to be at one with it
But trips into letting the pointless mental chatter start again,
increasing the distance between them yet further.

He decides then to strive, and strive
To increase his inner beauty
Free himself of shackles of fear and self-destructive tendencies
And be like the waterfall.

A noble and ancient longing, to be fully satisfied in the Gardens Of Eden.

Purify yourself, and return to the original home of your father, Adam.
