Title 3/ Confluence Quote: "Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses." Confucius Two groups quite diverse cannot seem to come together. They keep fighting over so many things. It's so disappointing. They cannot comprehend each man is his brother. If only they could forget and simply let things be, for forgiveness is the key, which can set all people free. They need to be kind to all. That is how to break a wall, for the wall is like a dam. It holds the two groups back. Joy could ring throughout the land if only the two groups could but love and understand and then walk hand in hand, for once we let love release,like two rivers, we'd join together in peace.

I like the idea of joining together in peace like two rivers or creeks flow together at some point to go on to making a larger stream which eventually flows into the ocean. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K

Thanks. It isn't good using phone. It symbolizes two rivers getting wider and wider until they come together, as people put to by broadening their views. Confluence actually is about rivers!
