Minnesota Musings - Mississippi Headwaters/Consciousness of Universal Destiny
Mississippi Headwaters:
Mississippi Headwaters –
Consciousness of Universal Destiny
Streaming from your mother’s heart
Slowly gathering momentum
You begin a heady journey
Flowing with a purpose
Final destination preordained
As others join your odyssey
You absorb them, grow stronger
You, Moon River, mature
Become the Mighty Mississippi
Witnessing life on your banks
Changing, forever changing
Immortalized in word and song
You endure – different yet the same
Here at this and any given point
In time - You are the all
The beginning and the end
Rolling from alpha to omega
Simultaneously being birthed and
Flowing out an old man into the sea
Endlessly ending the journey
That perpetually begins here
As but a trickle from
The bosom of your mother
At these - your headwaters
