A River: The Thread That Binds

Life is an adventure. Some things we can control other experiences randomly happen. We can choose the environment however and the Deschutes River located in Central Oregon has had a significant impact on my life. Through poems essays and photographs with their captions experiences will be shared in hopes that the reader can relate to shared feelings or vicariously enjoy a most refreshing immersion.Not all lifes happenings are pleasant or have a happy ending. The roller coaster of life is something we all share. But we find buffers that sustain us and certainly the natural world particularly a special river can help keep our keel headed in the right direction.Even though this is a personal sharing most of the experienced feelings are universal. Whether the reader enjoys an escape while reposed in an armchair or is moved to make some plans to break out of the humdrum or perhaps even finds some healing in the reading experience my efforts will be fulfilled.
