The River



Life itself is a river, with each of us paddling down this river, searching for the ocean where it all comes together. This river has sections of calm, and chaos, areas where we have to paddle like hell to make any progress or steer with all our strength to keep from grounded or being smashed to pieces against the many hazards.

Some choose to let the current take them where it will, it Others paddle constantly trying to get to the end as soon as possible. The smart ones understand the river and work with its character. They maintain control of their own vessel, help others along the way. They paddle hard when needed yet always enjoying the sights and sounds of the journey. Sometimes others join use on this journey, some briefly, other for the long term. However it is always in individual journey.

If you successfully navigate this trip do not be surprised when at last you reach the end, if you are met by the river guide and asked "You did very well, would you like to go again?"
