Inspired by Academic Dr James Austin.
A life time of living
A life stream flowing
always in the same direction.
Like a river,
carving down a valley.
Consistent through the
ebbs and flows ofthe seasons.
Life choices made.
What match mountains?
Against a consistencyof purpose.
Generations continue
and the river flows and deepens
diverges in new directions
you hadn’t seen coming.
Work, perhaps better called
mission – entrusted
to the next callused hands.
So the river flows on
naturally.
