“I need constant stimulation. I need to flow like a river. Constantly challenged, but uninterrupted.”
― Abhaidev, The Meaninglessness of Meaning

“The river speaks a language, something one isn’t born knowing but has to learn. I learned it from my dad. Some of it is wisdom, some of it skill. Some of it is the quirks and tendencies of a natural beast—the ebb and flow, the up and down, the flood draining down to a trickle. It’s all part of the river’s story, which it’s always willing to tell.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

“It is only safe to mock a crocodile when you have crossed the river.”

“A river can't forgive because it is only capable, in the first place, of love. A river loves the dumpers, the polluters, the slayers, the nest-thieves, the bird-killers, the dammers, the water-stealers. A river loves even the clear-cutters. But I can forgive. I am trying to be like the river.”
― Janisse Ray, Drifting into Darien: A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River

“Every river is a witness to the passage of time, a faithful companion to the ebb and flow of history.”
― Ajaz Ahmad Khawaja

― Kewayne Wadley, Vibing with You: Adult Coloring Book & Quotes

“Rivers carve their paths with the gentle persistence of time.”
― Aloo Denish Obiero

“My brother . . . he used to say we fall through life like water. Just as a river gives itself to the ocean, so too will our paths meet their end. But we will never find ourselves alone. That’s what he always told me. We will reunite at the confluence, in time, for all rivers empty to the sea where they may rest.”
― Giselle Beaumont, On the Edge of Daylight

“Most of the time, you don't know the source of a river or where it flows into, and people whose past or future you don't know are just like this river!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Meanders overall, are in effect considered to be dynamically stable states, that facilitate homeostatic mechanisms. They actually help to innately maintain relatively stable or constant internal conditions (e.g. biochemically, ecologically, water quality, energy required... etc), as they interact to stimulus, changes or challenges, in and around the river surrounds. What's even more astonishing too, is their ability to be simultaneously transforming their surroundings in the process; quenching thirsts, bringing nourishment and delivering new opportunities that sustains new LIFE... around every bend!”
― AshRawArt

“Let go of our fears... go with the flow... for by faith... rivers can... grain by grain... remove mountains!”
― AshRawArt

“A few days ago, the river was my bubble from the outside world, edging out everything painful and dark. Now, I realize how foolish I was for believing the river could shield me from danger. I’m nowhere near as safe out here as I thought.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

― Bhuwan Thapaliya, Safa Tempo: Poems New & Selected

“Now, I imagine how the place must look to someone like Ms. Judy, the landscape barren and bleak after sixty-five summers without her, trees stunted in growth due to the numerous hurricanes, floods, droughts, and tornadoes over the years. As a result, the overhead limbs now bear the shape of the wind, the bank eroded and boggy, with multiple man-made items caught in the snags along the shore—fishing line, a board or two from an old dock, a piece of rope, an empty beer bottle.
But there’s also something serene about it all, to the fingers of fog sneaking through the leafy foliage, hovering like damp breath; the sweet and spicy smell of milkweed and traces of pollen coating the calm surface, each breath of wind shedding yellow dust.
We tie off along a clump of cypress knees, our lines swishing over the rusty-brown surface. Ms. Judy doesn’t even ask for help, flicking her wrist back and aiming for a narrow spot in between two fallen limbs, the movement like muscle-memory after all this time.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

“GO WITH THE FLOW... river network constructs or flow patterns and MEANDERS may... conceivably be designed with some intentionality in mind. Could it be that their crafted principally to be the most efficient, effective and sustainable way of travelling from 'A' to 'B'?”
― AshRawArt

“But there’s also something serene about it all, to the fingers of fog sneaking through the leafy foliage, hovering like damp breath; the sweet and spicy smell of milkweed and traces of pollen coating the calm surface, each breath of wind shedding yellow dust.

― McCaid Paul, Dead River

“A river can't swallow the ocean's sorrow but can ease its burden.”
― Bhuwan Thapaliya, Safa Tempo: Poems New & Selected

“BE LIKE A RIVER - As we sojourn through life's ebbs and flows... We'd hope upon reflection... we may... Reflect the Light... & radiate warmth! Be purified, transformed and transparent! Quench thirsts & bring life sustaining resources that enrich the lives of those in our path. Immerse ourselves in the NOW & apply the lessons learnt upstream! Meanderâ€� slow down from time to timeâ€� as it's not a race for the swiftâ€� it's about endurance... so pace yourselves accordingly & enjoy the journey! Float around obstacles! Let go of our fears... go with the flow... for by faithâ€� rivers canâ€� grain by grain... remove mountains! Embrace the unexpected or unfamiliar & see new opportunities around every bend!”
― AshRawArt
