Rippling Stream's Circle

Out here watching the water flow by. Talking to the wind, waiting for a reply. I don't know what it is about this stream I admire. Like camping and gathering around watching the fire. There is something about these inanimate objects. It maybe the simplicity of beauty it reflects. How it unconditionally forms over all in its liquidity. It is the foundation of life being perfect in its ubiquity. Watching this stream, there is so much to learn and gain. This water can teach you, watch, as it starts as rain. High above in the clouds, then it falls to the top of the peak. As it slowly drips to the bottom, it mixes in with a creek. It flows in a small brook, then ends up in this stream, but it will one day rise up again to the clouds, as steam. Like waters circle of life, we need to come together as one. The lessons that we've learned here, have only just begun. ***By: Chris Matt ***For Rippling stream contest by P.S Sweetheart ***June 3, 2011
