Mighty Missippi falls

We walk slowly as not to rush, no need for you can hear her beauty before you approach, everyone with different ethnicities are headed the same way as we are..

The trees alive with so many vibrant colors, shapes, sizes, yet we admire them for who they are isn’t that ironic, this place is so alive with sights sounds, time sits still…


We’ve arrived to see her beauty, so powerful, so strong, Minnehaha Falls, an iconic popular site in Minneapolis, unlike the city,  is a sight for sore eyes, no matter who you are, as she unleashes her powerful water over the rocks..


One can only stand still, take in her beauty, power, kids playing in the pool below, having lunch, laughter and squeels of kids and adults going back in years, letting go of days stresses, worries as they too fall over the falls, thus us what Minneapolis should be like..

Picnics, lunches bare feet in her waters, no judgments, no hate, fighting amongst our differences, just pure joy, laughing, acceptance does her majestic beauty unleash, maybe this is why she’s called “The MIGHTY Missippi.

Just one question do I seek, where are the bathrooms..
