Can't get that song "Time Flowing Like a River," by Alan Parsons Project out of my head, but it is beautiful - so that's fine! And I love rivers and river metaphors. Buen viaje to you both and look forward to your updates and photos. Enjoy!!
North of where I was raised in Arkansas is a town called Marked Tree, Arkansas. It is on the St. Francis river, and it got its name from when people used the river for transportation and trade. There was a big tree on the river that someone marked so you could portage across the land and hook back up with the river. Someone built a trading post, and it got bigger after that.
Safe travels. While this is about rivers, consider all bodies of water. Can you find a town anywhere in the world that is NOT adjacent to water? I couldn’t.

Time, flowing like a river
Time, beckoning me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river to the sea
Goodbye my love
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my love
The tide waits for me
Who knows when
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forevermore
Goodbye my friend
(Goodbye my love)
Maybe for forever
Goodbye my friend
(Who knows when
We shall meet again)
The stars wait for me
Who knows where
We shall meet again, if ever
But time keeps flowing
Like a river (on and on)
To the sea, to the sea
'Til it's gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever
Gone forever now
Forevermore, forevermore
Thanks so much for suggesting this song Jeanine. I wasn’t aware of it. https://youtu.be/yiPtOVP-kec?si=RQL-vMG_URYzvRvW

Interesting. The rivers in Arkansas are amazing
That's very metaphysical. And lovely young family picture.
Thank you Jane.

Thanks! Good point John! Yes water connects us and divides us.
