The Pattern of the Flood


Here's a drawing from my book 24 Patterns of Wisdom. It illustrates how, despite our defenses, the beliefs and structures securing our sense of well-being are sometimes overpowered by forces beyond our control. Swirling currents dissolve the clear descriptions of who we are , why we are here and where we are going. The pattern of the flood is devastating. Yet, it is temporary.The flood can move us into the humility and gratitude that connects us more deeply with the rest of life and flows into renewal...Stay safe, stay connected, stay open.
