I discovered this stream on a walk along Scott Road. I sneaked in on the edge of some ones yard to take these pictures. Water is fascinating and there is a spiritual quality that touches the hearts of adults and children and even dogs. Water is refreshing to drink or or bath in, in fact we cannot live without it.
The sound of the water flowing through the rocks is a powerful reminder that life flows along with purpose and a direction. It washes away our mistakes of the past as it creates a new song for us to sing. Rivers are very important in the words of scripture and are a scource of healing and new life. Peace is like a river that is always giving us a promise of hope and our deepest longing.The river of life flows continaually and takes us through many difficult experiences that often expose our hidden faults and also our deepest needs. A river can be powerful and dangerous and to cross it can be fearful. Mankind has conquered many rivers that are wide and deep by building briges to take us across. We say to ourselves well I will cross that bring when I come to it.
Knowledge to reason and understand is a wonderful tool to unlock our potential and lead us into brave new paths. Faith is beyond our human ability to reason and draws us into the mystery of who we are and who we can become.
It is dark and colder this morning as I start out in the moonlight and return to a beautiful sun rise. Visiters are being monitored to view the new baby and we really are not family. New babies are certainly one of life's miracles!

Knowledge to reason? Hmm. Do you think more knowedge leads to better reasoning? Makes sense, just wonder. Oh, and I went to the clinic about my toe, on pills for the next three months.

Maybe salmon will spawn in that stream in the fall?
Love,
Rick
