A Reflection

2013 Bow River Flood Cochrane

It was good to see the rocks looking so clean
along the gently flowing Bow,
as I sat on a bench and reflected
on the changes we have witnessed these few months.

It was not long ago, flood waters, dark and muddy
rushed madly from the Rockies.
Today it looks happy and blue/green clean.

The river can be compared to ones life.
We rush through life, collecting
negative beliefs, emotions and attitudes.
Making no time to reflect inwardly.

River rocks were cleaned by the flood waters,
to once again sparkle brightly in the sun.
In our lives we can erase and let go all negativity.
Such in natures' beauty, so too in the soul.

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

How better can it be than to take a walk in the early morning? 
The smell of the air, the silence of the hills, 
the visual impressions of colours of the landscape and sky. 
How close can one get to the Creator of all things?
