243. The River Of Life

Will you travel with me along the banks of the river of life not as a superior or inferior being but as one equal to me Will you marvel at the way the water flows leaping joyfully over the rocks as each second passes swiftly by each droplet a life in its own right both human and animal No tides exist in this place it only will go one way once a rock is missed you can't go back you must jump it as best you can as you will never be in the same place long Would you cast a stone in the hope of disrupting the flow only to learn it will not work you will only create barriers for your self When it splits in two which way will you go will you end up in the stinking marsh pools where all is foul and horrible or will you fall down the fantastic waterfalls and end up in the peaceful lake where all is wonderful Will you travel with me though this life in friendship and respect no matter where we will go to we all will have got there in the end
