  i lost a passage in a book that i've been reading.
 i can't find it, and i think it's for the best.
 it made me think on it more in my own personal way.

     it was an analogy about life and a river,
 or how life can be like a river. it's a pretty
obvious comparison. the river can move slow,
 or quickly, have it's difficult turns, it's rapids that carry
you can  be... exciting, out of control,
and terrifying. if you fight the current
of the river you'll probably just end up  more
 tired and wishing you'd paid more attention to what
 caused the pull, knowing someday it'll be back
 again. for that next time, maybe to take a deeper
 breath, kick your feet down stream, and move
 along with it. life goes on, and so does the river,
 until it ends and that's where you will be.
