In places that make you realize just how tiny you and your problems are. It’s never too late to have an adventure. Some can be comfortable, but it is those uncomfortable adventures that allow you to grow and expand.
The songs of the river ends not at the banks, but continue to flow like the water on the rocks. Passing under bridges, through currents, twists and turns just as life throws curves. Curves which are our own doing as we deflate our raft with our own destruction. These my friend are called mistakes of life. It is how you patch your raft, what you learn from that destruction and the growth you allow to continue to stay afloat.
Feeling free, the need to cross the river, not carrying the burdens on your shoulders, continuing to discover ourselves. The river can be gentle or it can sweep you under. It is the lessons along the way, knowing each day is a new day and each day you may have to add a patch to fix the hole in your raft. Fix that hole, continue to float, continue to grow and see new things through your eyes and no one else’s. Learn from yesterday and live for today.
So get on your raft and float the huge oceans, the tiny rivers and take in the breath taking sights, allow yourself to cry many tears, allow yourself to hurt, allow yourself to laugh, allow yourself to make mistakes, allow yourself to love and give yourself the courage to float in these lessons digging deep because the best teacher of the all is your last mistake.
Keep floating!
