Flowing, floating, drifting with the tide, the currents, the Fates;
we all embark on Life's adventure in canoes of flesh, of birch bark,
of thought.
Eddies, riffles, whirlpools sometimes torment us; sometimes
they enervate us, while other times they simply enrapture us
with their beauty & simple complexity.
Each obstacle strengthens us & wizens us to be wary of the next
which always comes when not expected.
At length, when our canoe slides to its last embankment
we depart.
Look back & take note your journey. Silently thank the craft
which bore you upon waters both still & treacherous.
Enjoy the ride!
