Drink Deeply

In order for us to water others we must first be filled to overflowing. For it is the one who spends time drinking from the wells of wisdom on a continual basis who will irrigate the fields that are planted with people’s lives.

For me personally, it is those writers who have bled upon the page who cut me the deepest. And it is those who have drawn from deeper wells who quench my greatest thirst.

So immerse yourself in the watery expanse and drink deeply.

Drink not only to be filled, but rather drink for the overflow, so that as you carry yourself along the pathway called life, drops of life-giving sustenance will continually splash over and on to the sides of that dusty track that you trek.

And before long, as you peer over your shoulder, you will begin to see the appearance of green shoots, even flowers and in time tall and strong limbed trees that now shade others.

Thanks James. This is all original thought from myself. But what is original? There’s nothing new under the sun. Just another sunshine angle I guess – another part of the beautiful spectrum. Glad you enjoyed it.
