The river a place to contemplate creation's plan. The river a place to question the existence of woman and man. It is there where one can leave city behind it is there where one can rid creations of the mind. Its shore invites one to see the unknown to find inspiration and a comforting home. And while by the riverbank a mind becomes still, completely blank. An end for meaning and a reason to be for by peering at its running water, clarity is what one can see. The river displaying creation’s plan. The river a place to find purpose for 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...
