Advice ... from a RIVER

Do you imagine the tumultuous Niagara River as it tumbles over the Falls? Or the lengthy Grand River as it flows from a northern lake, through the Elora Gorge, small towns and passive countryside to its destination? Or with a fishing rod and bait, your lure is the river and the fish you can reel in? With a view conceived in your mind, you may read and absorb these words:

Go with the flow.
Immerse yourself in nature.
Slow Down and meander.
Go around obstacles.
Be thoughtful of those downstream.
Stay current.
The beauty is in the journey.
