Thanks for this, I'm going to write it down.

I've always loved that analogy. it is very true. Is that from Emerson or Thoreau? If so it is probably from Eastern ideas. We are in a constant stream of time and every time we connect in that stream it is a new piece of life. We carry everything with us, but each experience is brand new. Thanks for the reminder.

This is lovely, and so true.

Mine is and has always been music, and Seals And Crofts said 'We may never pass this way again"

so TRUE.

I'm going to copy this one. Thanks you for this!!! SPOT ON!!

HUGS and Happy mother's Day! Diane

This made me think of Garth Brooks Song "The River"
You know a dream is like a river Ever changin' as it flows And a dreamer's just a vessel That must follow where it goes Trying to learn from what's behind you And never knowing what's in store Makes each day a constant battle Just to stay between the shores I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Like a bird upon the wind These waters are my sky I'll never reach my destination If I never try So I will sail my vessel 'Til the river runs dry Too many times we stand aside And let the waters slip away 'Til what we put off 'til tomorrow Has now become today So don't you sit upon the shoreline And say you're satisfied Choose to chance the rapids And dare to dance the tide,
