You know what? I haven’t gone down to the river for a few days now. I didn’t realize why at first, but I think I’m done with it for now. Whatever it was I was looking for down there, I found it. Some sort of balance, when I felt like I had been thrown out of balance. It’s almost like I can go down to the river in my head and in my heart now. I like it. Balance is always a tenuous thing though. Who knows how long it lasts, or why it comes and goes the way that it does. It seems like the river punctuated some phase of my life here, and now that it is settled - whatever it was - I can only help but wonder what comes next. It seems like I learned a lot of weird lessons down there, about tides, and coconuts, and turtles, and sitting in the sunlight and wind, waiting, listening. Being still. I’m not saying I’ll never go back down there, but it doesn’t have the insane urgency that it did before though, and I don’t feel like I have to go down there every day all summer like I was thinking. But anyway, yeah, I’m off to use the phone… later.
