no better, no worse, no love, no hate, no fear, no anger, no joy.

The River of Life just IS. There is nothing to do.
There is nothing to say.
There is nothing to think.
There is nothing to feel.

the source of all obstacles.

or one can struggle fearfully against the River -

and the River just flows.

and the River just flows. There is nothing to do - and the River flows.
There is nothing to say - and the River flows.
There is nothing to think - and the River flows.
There is nothing to feel - and the River flows.
