Love like a river flows
Infinite in depth and strength
Forever mysterious,
entrancing,
beckoning
The soul of life
Love like a river flows
….Been thinking a lot about love lately; its lure to continually participate. Looking into this river as the day drew to a close, its stillness reflected life, and I fell in love all over again. I’m not even sure what with. Was it the river, was it the reflection in the river, was it life, was it the stillness and calm?
Even in our darkest times, after the rain has come, and life, like mud, becomes dense and cold, love quietly sits, waiting for that recognition of the gentle sway of its flow deep within us.
As love is touched in recognition, the ripple effect is felt though bodies, our hearts, our souls, and we are awakened with a ‘bing.’ We thank god for the love we have, as we jump into the waters of the mystery of love, be that romantic love, or the love of a child, or in my case, on that bridge over the river, a recognition that love refuses to die.

It’s always there, isn’t it? What a beautiful thing to feel its stirrings. Really it’s almost an indescribable sensation, one that can move us to tears.

What a beautiful metaphor! Reminds me of the song “I’ve Got Peace Like A River in my Soul” - have you heard it?

What a beautiful post, Brigit, and a gorgeous photo. Such stillness in the river and the reflection is wonderful.
I always think love “is” - pure and simple.

And no matter how smooth or rocky the ride, we jump in again and again.

Love. Is it always in us, waiting to share it with people and things? Is it the most innate thing we have? It is lovely to feel love, because there is not better inspiration. Beautiful picture. Thank you.
