Digital Photograph - The River



The River

The river calms my mind and heart. When

the outside world gets rather crazy

or my everyday world a little over

whelming. I find myself heading

for the river.

The past few weeks it has been full of

rain and mud. It is almost a chestnut

brown in places. It is running fast

and dangerous. It is impossible to see

the rocks and boulders that lie beneath

it.

There are days my thoughts and feelings

run like the river. Fast and quick.

Flowing as if they will never stop.

Yet,as I watch the water everything

that was bothering me flows away,

my focus comes back and a part of

me begins to sing.
