The momentous collapse of the wall creates obstacles around which the gushing water cascades. Only after the passage of time are the cracks filled in with dirt and debris, the river widening to become still waters.<br /><br />Similarly, the course of a river is not changed with the erection of a wall, but small streams cutting furrows across new ground. Water presses against the banks, cresting low spots to carve a new path to the sea. The river carries the waste of world which snags on the rocks of life, shunting more water in the newly cut direction until the whole river follows that pioneer trickle to the sea.Maria Kirbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03156811168562757857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5999077.post-20730403778229680272009-09-15T15:05:42.574-05:002009-09-15T15:05:42.574-05:00Challenging, insightful thoughts, Geoff.
