river reflection
















consistent current
constant sound

drops convene
in the creases
of mountains

consistent
constant

for hours
days and
weeks

rapids roll like
sticks on snares
across fields of green

water
seems
to arrive
at our rock in
unending abundance

the rock
and its neighbors
are subtly shifted
slightly scraped
bit by bit
by grain

more rain
could cover them,
move,
or destry them until
nothing
remains

or

after months
rains cease
leaving rocks to

the wind
dry and mighty
consistent
constant

ceasing

like rocks
like rain
like rivers

    thoughts while sitting on a rock with carrie yesterday at the most beautiful river i've ever seen. i originally meditated on the river as a symbol of eternity. then, i realized how much it was changing (even if in the moment the change was neither visible nor audible). everything our 5 senses take in is fading.

    that's awesome man. It sounds like you're enjoying Rica. Probably not as much as I'm enjoying my 6 hours of summer school, but we can arm wrestle or something later to decide that. Look forward to your return bro. Hayden played some triplets on the drums the other day (with his sunglasses on, inside), and that was a new one on me. lata.
