6.7.14 Day After Night; Season After Year


Photo: A beautiful early summer afternoon on the river-as I walk along  the elegant river side. The pale early June breeze, The shining mud riverbanks somehow revealed,  despite recent intermittent rains. 
     The very same ancient powerful waters. The same age-old path of all snows from winter; and  all the rains from on high - slowly making their way down,  through mountains and hills- ravines pouring rivulets into tributaries and outwaters. 
     Day after night. Season after year. A tireless rushing through streams and creeks, past water-worn stones , as the flow keeps turning and twisting, until finally it surpasses all obstacles, and empties into this river. 
     And on this day , like any other, you will find the waters roiled, plunging past- the deepest slate blue. 
     One more moment . This particular land; this particular planet.   A beautiful early summer afternoon on the river-as I walk along the elegant river side.
