as it
flows
away,
it
arrives:
there is
no
past tense
in a
river.

ReplyDelete*I always loves your comment. It feels like a sensual disease & gv me an unusual spirit. Thx 4 supporting, god bless! :-)
Wonderful photo; wonderful thought! The eternal Now of a river.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could just build a house of love over the river, and witness how things mundane flow underneath. But that's impossible, yet too magical to think about. Smiles.
ReplyDeleteLike the old saying goes, it's water over the dam.
