Drawing on the words of Isaiah and the metaphor of rivers flowing through dry places, this reflection invites us into the sacred art of letting go. Life, like nature, is never static, and the Spirit is constantly birthing something new in and around us. But too often, fear of change and attachment to the familiar keep us stuck in old patterns. This talk reminds us that God’s movement is not constrained by our absolutes, and true transformation begins when we release what we think we know and open our hearts to what is becoming. The desert can bloom—but only if we make space for the river.
