Below is a link to my reading of “The River”, from my book “Just Thinking.” If it leaves you perhaps “Just Thinking”… then I will consider it a success! Enjoy!

Thank you Jodi. I have been called a variety of things over the years, but melodious was not one of them. 🙂

Wow, this is wonderful! The analogy and “the flow”… and the ending…. goosebumps!

Hi Erika. Writing it was interesting because it started off in the context of an analogy of life… but somehow became rather personal at the end. Not too sure how that happened! 🙂

You simply opened up more during the writing process and simply let it flow, setting your head aside. A message!

The magnificence of these words is only made better by your recitation of them! I could listen to you for hours. It reminds me of these words that I often share: ” Life is not a problem to be solved, but an experience to be had “-Alan W. Watts. Thank-you for this beautiful post, I love your thinking!

You are most welcome! May I suggest that you consider an audio version of this book, if you have not already done so? I’m sure it would be a tremendous amount of labor on your part. Perhaps selected portions instead of the entire book. I am thinking of the people who are not sighted that would so benefit by your verses and voice. Just thinking!

Hi Ellen. It’s an idea that I am “floating around” re both books however, doing it is another matter. There are potentially high costs involved, as well as the time to get a professional recording. The idea is “alive” as at today though! 🙂

We saw scenes like this in the boat, some of which we could not explore as they were so shallow and narrow, even for a narrowboat such as ours. Does make you think.
