Every Time I Pass By A Stream Or River I Gaze Downstream
Author: siggyEvery time I pass a stream or a river I gaze downstream (or upstream). To me the body of water represents mystery. If I am on foot I want to see if I spot any fish or other creature in the water. By car, I am on the outlook for any kind of duck or egret or other bird. I am always curious what I will see. There is a marsh nearby and I am always looking for a snowy egret or the much larger great egret there. I could not believe it when I flushed a blue heron who was drinking the water of the small creek less than an hundred yards from my house. I face nature with a sense of wonder. There is always the sense of mystery. I know the Almighty has instilled that in me and every child has it and far too many lose it. To view this universe without a sense of awe is a great loss. With it, you will discover wonders and beauty all around you. All you have to do is open your eyes with a sense of expectation.
