the river is everywhere

The river is everywhere.

we are all interchangably connected, what i do affects the decisions you make, which will influence the next event in someone else's life. there will never be a standalone event in anyone's life that does not directly affect someone else. so why are we all so completely wrapped up in OUR own happiness? we all can acheive ecstasy if we all work together and let go of our own petty needs and focus on each other, everyone as a whole. and so i realize that,

the river is everywhere.

My river bleeds into the rivers of life of many people. tiny streams and creeks will branch off into an ocean of rivers. and although those connections may be shallow or short lived, they still affect the flow of my waters. every tree that falls into the depths of my river, every school of fish that finds a home in my sea will change the direction or the momentum of my river. we can no longer take for granted the beings that nest in our waters, because however insignificant they may seem,

the river is everywhere.

as i trap my river in a glass jar i am able to look from beginning to end and see a beautiful horizon on either side. the sun setting behind me, and rising on a new day before me.i have found that i have loved more deeply than most people ever will. and i have felt more heartache than anyone ever should. i have lived more fairytales than you will find in a storybook, and bitten into more poisoned apples than i care to admit. but i look upon my river, i see the dew drops collecting on the blades of grass on my banks and i see that someday they will find their way into the depths of my river. i will watch my river as it ebbs and flows, and i will never forget that

The river is everwhere.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.

the river is everywhere.
