Last week, my son and I hiked along one of my favorite rivers.

I have hiked that trail many, many times. I have been there in all seasons, and all weather conditions over the past thirty years.

Right now the river is running high with the spring thaw, and the trees are just waking up.

It was his first time there.

Being there with him, I was able to see it through new eyes, and it inspired a meditation and some paintings.
