Going Somewhere

When I looked out over the sheltered valley and traced the river's way, I couldn't help but notice how the roads and train tracks, followed the same twists and curves.
All of the millions of years the water took to find that way...and our temporary exsistance is influenced by the way of the river. All the years of humanity, and of animals too I suspect are influenced by water, we all gravitate to the waters edge. None of us can exsist without water this is true, but there is something more, another connection with water that brings to mind a master, or mistress. If water brings a message each time we see it in it's natural state, can it tell of what our future holds, bliss and serenity, or disaster and strife? Can we read water? Can we listen to water?
Aboriginal people have remnants of this gift, some more than others.
We need to listen...to the water...now...go listen...
