Be Like Water This Year..

I'm thinking my metaphor this year is going to be the same as in the past few years (not many points for originality I know..) and that metaphor is a take from Eastern Philosophy..being like water..in a flowing river. Always flowing, if just a little bit, so as to prevent stagnation and from going bad, sometimes slowing down to reflect and swirl through some thoughts in the deeper thought waters; other times picking up speed, and energy, without trying to spill/lose any water that gets splashed ashore and forgotten. All the while moving forward, because water can't go backwards, just as humans can't make progress while going or looking backwards.
