And I know the river is deep / I found out that the currents are tricky / And I know the river is wide / And oh the currents are strong / And I may lose every dream / I dreamt that I could carry with me / Oh but I will reach the other side / Please don’t let me have to wait too long
Rich Mullins, The world as Best as I remember it, vol 1, track 8

[I am trying to learn to do this. I hope to write more about this aspect of living. Maybe you and I can also compare notes?]
