Running, rivers and life - The Ebb & Flow; the rage and return
January 13th, 2010 | Author: admin
A recent run saw me out in the late afternoon just as the sun had dipped its head. The threat of the chill night to come had not quite touched my breath but its potential was just hanging in the air. I am lucky enough that one of my regular routes takes me over the beautiful river Avon and I am always brought to a halt even if for a few moments to enjoy the views of the river, its flow and the swans and geese that are usually enjoying it too. The complusion to stop this afternoon was no different but as I paused at my regular stopping place the familiar sight I usually breathe in was very different. Firstly, there were no swans or geese to be found and due to the recent heavy rains the river Avon had burst its banks and flooded the surrounding water meadows. It was interesting that even though there was water all around it was still possible to the see the main body of flow that is the Avon, so strong was the torrent of water that now ran along its course.
As I reluctantly left my place of appreciation I began to ponder on what I had seen and as nature weaved her magic message to me I learned of what the river represented.
Could we and our lives, be likened to the river and its course?
