It wasn't a mighty and enormous river, one with a name that everyone recognized worldwide. But that didn't mean that it didn't make a difference as it flowed through its landscape, didn't have a purpose in its journey, or didn't deserve to exist.

Because, you know, Big isn't the only size tht rivers come in.

Ever since I was a little boy, I have always wanted to get to the top of the landscape, to see the full view, capture the panorama.

And for most of my life, I have lived in valleys . . .

But that's okay, because I love to hike, and there are many, many places to climb up to.

It's not what I would call a cozy landscape, but then again, not all landscapes are. Some are rugged, resilient, toughened by weather and time and a climate bereft of soft rain to temper constant sunlight.

Through many details, they show their craggy, stubborn personality, and I admire them for it, and am inspired by it.

I've always been drawn to the sound of water flowing through a small stream. It's not a roar, not even a forceful murmur, but rather a soft, gentle trickle that is constantly in the background.

Despite its lack of clamor, it attracts my attention, for no other reason than that it is persistent, steady, and calming.

Truth is a bit that way.

The beginning of the day is bright, promising, alert, as we think of the many things (I hope pleasant) we have to do.

But evening is quiet, easy, slow, a time to reflect upon what we have accomplished, and to relax into a state of rest.

Nature does this every day with sunrise and sunset, and when we follow her lead, we do so as well.

It's funny how the smoothest, straightest, easy-to-navigate roads often run through some of the most boring landscapes.

And some of the roughest, most circuitous and rugged ones take us through incredibly beautiful places. Maybe it's because we're moving so much slower that we take time to appreciate our surroundings.
