Something in the water........

We all behave in the same manner, i've seen it for myself; whenever we are close to a river or any body of water we all do the same thing...we stand for a moment and watch !


We seem drawn to it and for the life of me I cannot explain it ?


I wonder if it has something to do with the movement, I personally ponder where it is going and what it will see on its travels.


Maybe its a reflection thing; each of us can gaze into this magical mirror observing the current watching our image shift and alter, changing our perception of what we see.




I am blessed and never take for granted my good fortune in my travels; I refuse to miss an opportunity to stand at the banks of a fast flowing river and give thanks for what my eyes are gifted.
So much has occurred in these places, history has played itself out and daily lives traversed its twists and turns...never really being sure of what was around the next bend.


The sun dances on its glass-like surface as colour is cast across the landscape surrounding it, natural music sets the scene and then I begin to understand its allure; it truly is magical. Far off in mountains that cast great shadows these entities begin their lives, a cycle of rainfall, heat and windswept oceans contribute and all this comes from standing at its banks....pondering !




So should you find yourself crossing a great river one day; pause for a moment, look down into its swirling depths and consider your surroundings. In the scheme of things we are but a tiny speck and our time is all too brief...but the river goes on to become something much greater despite the obstacles in its way; that in itself is worth noting !
