Ignore the Leaf that Floats on Top

Awareness is the stream, not the leaf that floats on top of it.
-Gordon Smith

Wow!  Those words just blew me away when I read them.  What a simple and classic way to look at our awareness.  What sees, hears, feels and makes sense of our physical world reality?  Our awareness...the Life force, the stream of consciousness.  Our thoughts are merely just leafs floating on the stream...being carried away.  They are nothing.  It is the stream that has the power.

Yet so often...too often...we begin to believe our thoughts are everything.  We allow the perception that our thoughts are carrying us away: She got carried away by her thinking.  He was lost in his thoughts. etc .  How can we be lost in our thoughts?  When the stream is powerful enough to carry the thoughts away.  Focus on the powerful  stream people...not the leafs on top. 

All is well in my world.
