Hey my friend, great reply :) Yes I understand what you're saying and I agree. In terms of the river, I mean it in the respect that following the river is staying true to ourselves and our path. Like the comment you made in the post "What if there is more money in just being yourself than in becoming a lawyer?" Life seems to point us in a general direction but we often fight against it and attempt to be something we're not. The skill comes in knowing yourself and understanding the direction life wants to point you in and not over complicating or indeed over thinking things to much .. or something like that. :)
With regards to the tuning fork that statement is both veritas and eloquently written. Great work as always @ura-soul
