The prompt today is essentially “heal.”  We’re on a mini-vacation to the coast for a couple of days on the front end of a family trip – and as I was sitting here, peering out the windows at the grand sight below, I could just feel the harsher stuff of life peeling off.

I’m not sure what it is about water, and in particular, continuously moving water, that calms the soul, heals the wounds of life and puts things right.  Could be waves from the ocean, big rivers flowing by, heck, even small rivers flowing… But boy does it.  We’re on the Columbia River with an amazing view – and the ocean is just around the corner.  The benefits of ocean wildlife, river wildlife, tides, amazing water flows…

It heals the soul and fixes life, at least for me.
