River Of Life

Let us imagine the Sun high in the sky. The Sun shine’s down on the ocean’s and the Sea’s of the world.
As the heat of the Sun, cover’s the water, it begins to evaporate, rising gently into the Sky forming cloud’s of various shape’s and sizes.

The wind begin’s to blow and the cloud’s start to move steadily toward’s the hills and the mountains in the distance. Sometimes moving swiftly and the wind grow’s stronger and sometimes moving gently as it flow’s slowly toward’s it’s destination. Ultimately, we reach the hill’s and the mountain’s. The cloud’s then begin to discharge the water, either as snow or rain. The rain then begin’s to slowly move down the mountain’s and hill’s. Often as small stream’s and until they ultimately come together into one larger river. At first the river run’s slowly with small twist’s and detour’s on it’s pathway. At times it begin’s to gather speed, depending upon the countryside that it is flowing through. This can be mountainous wooded field’s full of flower’s, meadows and many other type’s of terrain.

There are many rock’s and stone’s in the flow. These are of various sizes. The smaller ones will sometimes move aside or indeed allow the water to flow over them. The larger rocks will force the water to go around them so causing more detour’s within the river’s pathway. There are times, when the water run’s smoothly over a flat bottom. When the river become’s still, slow and wide it will flow gently and steadily forward. When it becomes narrower it will then often become faster and deeper. At times it may well fall over a waterfall into often a deep calm pool at it’s base. Ultimately the water come’s in sight of the sea. It place that is originally started from, finally returning “home” into the ocean or sea, ready to start all over again or indeed to rest for a time before starting the circle of life.

This follows the same pattern as life on earth sometimes calm, sometimes rough, sometimes with barriers that ultimately ending in our return to the source.
