Impressionism in still waters

Feeling reflective

Stand on a riverbank staring into the mirror-like waters long enough and one thing eventually becomes clear: everything is temporary.

This is just a reflection. The waters may or may not continue to flow here. The trees will eventually fall. The entire valley, carved out by these same waters over millennia, will eventually morph into something very different.

Maybe it’s all just an illusion. Or a hushed message to those of us who come here to hold onto the things we see and feel.

Because soon enough, we won’t be able to stand here at all.
