The river flows in one direction. Our lives only go in one direction; we can’t go back for even one minute. The river picks up and carries things along its way and holds it for a while before they are separated somewhere further down the line.
We acquire friends in our lives; they are with us for a while but eventually we go our separate ways.
The river flows until it reaches the sea and then the river is no longer a river and becomes part of the sea. We live our lives and at some point we are no longer alive; we become a spirit.
As I look back on my life and my accomplishments, the thing I’m most proud of is my service in the United States Navy. I enlisted as a teenager, at 18 years old. These days I think back about my service. I gave the Navy 10 years and 8 months. The Navy gave me the training to support my family the rest of my life.
