The river always wins

There’s a show going on in the nearby river.

Quietly, relentlessly, the current has been oh so gradually wearing these rocks down for longer than any of us has been alive.

And today, the water levels have dropped just enough to allow the river to show us its handiwork.

I imagine the stories these gently contoured rocks could tell. Of an ultimately futile fight against the elements. Of the power of staying the course no matter how long it takes.
