The river perhaps a place to contemplate creation's plan. The river perhaps a place to question the existence of woman and man. At the river I left city behind And rid many creations within my mind. Its waters an invitation to see the unknown Its shore an inspiration and a comforting home. And while by the riverbank my mind became still, completely blank. An end for meaning and reasons to see for by peering at its running water, it’s clarity clear to me. The river displaying creation’s plan. The river a place to find purpose for me, woman and man.

Lovely penned. You sure called it. The answer right there in front of us, swiftly flowing. Peace, Gershon

Lovely photo. It seems like the river and beaches makes us contemplative. It is the ideal place to be reflective and inspired. I enjoyed it very much.

This is how I feel when I sit by water or anywhere outside, looking at God's other mighty creations. " its shore invited me to see the unknown to find inspiration and a comforting home." Well done!

George, this is a lovely contemplation for who doesn’t find God when we ponder such things...
