Like swift water, an active mind never stagnates. (Anon)

I came where the river
Ran over stones;
My ears knew
An early joy.
And all the waters
Of all the streams
Sang in my veins
That summer day.
(Theodore Roethke, The Waking)

By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved slowly.

For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, "There is no hurry. We shall get there some day."

(Benjamin Hoff, The Tao of Pooh)

"After the sun has set behind the mountains, the air becomes a little cooler and then there is the of pleasure of sitting by the river, and watching the birds still darting above the ever flowing river. Sometimes later elk can be seen as they come to lower ground to feed in the fields over night."

The music is by the South Korean pianist Yiruma.
