Rivers
When a river has to turn a corner it often forms a back current, a little pool of water that swirls in a vortex exempting itself from the main current of it's life, going around in circles, advancing it's journey not a whit.
That is the feeling I have about this day, a Friday, a Friday that will apparently remain sunny for it's duration.
But just how much do I resemble a river (aside from being all wet, as my dear departed mother would no doubt quip)?
.............(A significant passage of time)..........
I can't think of anything.
At least those rotating pools of river water provide fish with respite on their battle with contrarian currents on the trek to paradise.
But, In A Greater Sense....don't we all.

when a river has to turn a corner?
does a river ever do that?
I do know that when a river has to make a bend, after time it will cut off the bend and just run straight across, forming a pool and bow which is called an ox-bow. I think that is a lovely word.
I like rivers and trees, they are like poetry flowing and waving and weaving.
amd mabee the muskeetoes can live in them corners, and that maeks the frogs happee??
my jannie wood liek this one, butt she is sleeping.
Rivers are capable of more than we dream of in our philosophies.
- the last couple of years of iffy health have made me feel as if I have been struggling to tread water in a backwater. Thankfully, things are now better. Blessings on you and yours.
Hallo, Lane!
1) Thanks for adding to my knowledge of rivers by telling me what happens at a bend in them!!
2) How about a bike ride on sunny days like the one mentioned in this blog?????????
Tschüß,
Anonomann (+ LL, who always likes bike rides on sunny days (át least when the water is not yet warm enough for a swim) (and who always wants me to send her regards to you, Meredith, and Keth)
