Lessons Learned from the River
There is more than one right way. Sometimes we get stuck following a method or practice for doing something because “we’ve always done it that way.” But sometimes trying a new way of doing something helps give us a new perspective and better results.

What my teacher showed me, was that I could also turn the boat by pushing the paddle forward on the same side I wanted to go.
