It's very metaphorical, is what it is...

I'm curious why there is such a focus on perfection. Am I the only person that doesn't spend time in my life worrying about perfection? Humans procrastinate, doubt, fear, get angry or frustrated, and occasionally give up... and so what? I allow myself to be human, I grant myself anything under one condition - that I know that I have chosen it. Rivers don't choose, and that is where we are fundamentally and radically different from rivers.

Understanding, of course, that metaphors are a major mode of "spiritual", "enlightened", philosophical and theological thinking, engaging your environment with abstract thinking is a good way to engage yourself. Personally, I have no judgement on the rock or the water. They both have their place. Neither would be the same without each other.
