Lazy Rivers of the Mind

Have you ever wanted to be…

a person of calm

someone who floats with,

instead of fights against the current?

Two summers ago, my best friend, Barbie, and I decided to do just that. During a visit with her in beautiful Colbert, Washington, we decided to float down the Little Spokane River that flows across the street from her home.

The only goal we set was to enjoy each other’s company and to enjoy nature. The image of a doe bounding through the river in front of us is still fresh in my mind. Giggles bubbled up inside as we swirled in the waters.

This morning I remember this delightful time and smile. When I took the time “to be,” present with my best friend, my problems seemed insignificant. Mountains became mole hills, as the saying goes.

Lake Tahoe

I sipped grace from cupped hands…drawn from the waters of surrender.
