Life, Love and Rivers

I believe that life and love are like great rivers. We cannot control them, hold them, shape or form them. We can manipulate them for a time, but our efforts at control will not last. Ultimately they will carry on their course regardless of our most dire efforts to the contrary. If we fight against them we will only become tired and hate them for it. The best we can do is to put ourselves in their paths and wait for the day they carry us in their course to our final destination.
