For the last ten years, we have lived quite close to the Bow River and to Fish Creek. This year, although the Bow and Fish Creek have flowed to the tops of their banks and slightly over, we have not had the flooding that many places have had. Because the melt is very slow this year in the mountains, we still may have flooding to come.
This set me thinking about the role of rivers and streams and creeks. Shaman, medicine people, and mystics believe that the water that flows in a bed (rivers, streams, creeks) represents:
- going with the flow
- evolution and change from one state to another
- the passage of time
- creation and destruction
- shape-shifting
- emotional journeys at different levels
- return to oneness
- travel from one place to the next, similar to the Chariot card in the Tarot
- and, the river represents goals
The Bow, then, is showing those of us that live close to it, that when emotions run high (as in high water) change must happen. Just as the water causes an evolution in the course of the river, we are in for an evolution in our lives – perhaps who we are and how we live. The river has been high now for several months. This shows that there is a long period of time that will pass where our emotions will be high, and therefore quick to be in the forefront of things. There will be some destruction of what was and a creating of new things. What we once thought we knew will take on a new shape, and it will be better.
The river runs year after year. Life flows the way it needs to.
