Lessons from Rock and River Color the canyon walls warm adobe fire hearths of brick warm places in the heart listen The river flows passed hard and stable rock two different forms of matter each by uniqueness gives importance to the other a perfect relationship Harmonize with things that flow by you like the rock I think sweep gracefully past the stunning fact impeding gesture with sound that delights then Sky dark clouds dense charcoal the rain stitching lines from sky to earth in the canyon, next to the river Thunder trembles the sky to open the flowing current steady pounding the river surges sending hard and stable rock careening far The rock as others catch against it changes the path of the river flowing growing flooding The worlds ever changing nothing stays the same I think In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

There is something about the movement of water that is so mesmerizing. This is so beautiful, Martie. I will know something more definite early next week. Will e-mail you Liz |
