Life as a River

I stole this from my friend Evonne Harden who posted it on facebook. It's a conversation between her son and herself and too good not to share.

Me: Son, don't you remember how much Trouble you were in yesterday for this very same thing?

Him: Yes.

Me: Well, did you even think about it today?

Him: No.

Me: Son! Your life is like a RIVER! It all flows together! The previous day's weather effects the current and flow and wildlife today. The pollution dumped upstream effects life downstream. Your life is a River! It is not a series of puddles or ponds. It is a River. It all flows together. Do you understand?

Him: Yes.

Me: Okay. Explain it to me.

And he did.

Thanks, Evonne
