Even the last leaf on the tree isn't really alone. The branches and the wind will still want to play, and when the leaf gets tired and decides to drift down to earth, the softest pillow of dirt will be patiently waiting for it.

-e. e. cummings

Like a good river, life takes you to interesting places. There's usually curves and sometimes flooding, and almost always a bit of trouble.

This blog helps me get inspired, and I hope you'll find something here that will help you keep moving along down your own river.
