The Flow

This is where Rapid River flows into Rainy. Beyond that is Canada. Not only is it one of the best fishing spots around (for birds as well as fishermen), there’s a lightness in the air here and a sense of flow permeates everything. It’s a very special place to me, as it makes me feel connected to that flow.

whenever i’m here,

where the two rivers meet,

i stand on the bank

and feel the flow;

i feel the waters flowing

like the blood in my veins,

i feel the air flow around me

like the air in my lungs,

and i feel the life force itself

flowing in me and thru me–

and yet, amid all that,

whenever i’m here,

time seems to stand still.
