The spring never runs dry, all year round bursting out from under the rock face fresh and pure.
On the hottest of days it retains its iciness, a sharp rude reminder to my bodily senses to wake up, now is not the time for sleeping.
The childlike gurgling never stops, a backdrop to the constantly changing flow as it splashes over the rocks.
The water glints sparkling mesmerizingly, the springs energy bringing a clarity, bubbling with optimism and fun.
If you look you can see diamond shapes glinting in the water and rainbow colours, a prism under the summer sun.
Can you smell the freshness, an innocence, nothing decaying?
I acknowledge again the spring in me, forever rising up, my very heartbeat.
Conflicting with the world around and the “it’s time to slow down” messages bombarding my soul, the spring eternally flows with a constant pace and rhythm.
Life, life, life.
It’s time to live again
