Photo I took of river near my home.

I move with the river, it moves with me We move in synchronicity My thoughts flow with currents Push my feelings around the bends It heals my wounds, the hurts it mends It washes away worries and doubts In motion it turns it all inside out As peace consumes me all about No hurdles, no rocks are in the way I move by and beyond them everyday Taking in everything passing by --- The river and I --- Heidi Sands 6/26/17
