“Have you also learned that secret from the river; that there is no such thing as time?” That the river is everywhere at the same time, at the source and at the mouth, at the waterfall, at the ferry, at the current, in the ocean and in the mountains, everywhere and that the present only exists for it, not the shadow of the past nor the shadow of the future.”
— Hermann Hesse
I see my life as a river flowing
laid out in eternity
existing at once
with currents of memory
connecting moment to moment
To sail along my river
is to understand
the riptides and the doldrums
the gentleness and wildness
and the patterns that exist within
Travel with me for a time
walk along my banks
or skinny dip in my depths
or perhaps just float along
in my embrace
— G A Rosenberg
