The Flow of Life

Life flows swiftly as do the mighty rivers of the Earth. We look in the mirror one day and the freckles of our youth have faded and have been replaced by the wrinkles of age. We ponder the miracles of living and the unknowns and mysteries of life hereafter seeking answers earned from decades of toil and the pain of loved ones lost during our long journey. And as the mighty rivers roar can be heard for miles and miles so can the silence in response to our questioning become deafening in its muteness as time seems to move on in its uncaring fashion. Yet, we must persevere and continue to search the heavens utilizing that sometimes elusive thing called Hope as it is the guiding light that will ultimately lead us to our final destination.
