The Other River



Gurdjieff talks about how we can enter that other river 
which flows nearby our mechanical lives 
where all is in harmony, where the soul is in charge. 
Whereas Emerson says, "all the parts and particles 
form the whole, the “oversoul.” 
But we cannot live in this second stream, he tells us,
until we loosen our attachments to this other life. 
So hard to do, but little by little we try, 
with acceptance, of ourselves and others.
