Now I understand why I am afraid of river rafting. It is a failure of faith on my part.

Running waters with steep slippery banks haunted my dreams for many of the early years of my marriage.

I think your experience in riding out your spill, your dunk in the river of love had alot to do with the persistence and the depth of Your practices, and how You have developed a strong love, appreciation for the Oneness, and your choice of forgiveness, no matter where You find your self or how You got there…….ahhh no regrets, how comforting to know You have found the freedom in that wet, embracing, warm river of love and in finding the love in all the gifts in floating in, through your fears……thank You for sharing this and blessings to You as You move downstream with your knobby knees and your beautifull upturned face and may your salty tears continue to lead You to safety as they mix and add to That/This Holy River of Love.

With respect, Peter

You may want to sing the song of love you sing to the river and offered to sing in a previous post and add it to your website for all to enjoy it would be an amazing gift….p

Nicely written and some great metaphores. I have to agree that a river can be a very dangerous place and swimmning in rapids is not advised unless you clearly know what you are doing.

A journey down a river is a raw connection to the cycle of life and is best enjoyed by going with a well organised outfit that uses full trainined and experienced guides who follow best practice to reduce risk and enhance the experience.

If you are ever over in Scotland there are some great white water rafting river journeys to be had. All the best, Jim

Nice story. I’m not convinced on the “river rafting can be a dangerous sport” line, though. “Driving a car can be a dangerous activity,” is more true but, with both, you can manage your risks by being safe and not reckless.

None the less, I enjoyed your story. Love the Klamath, too.

Happy Boating,
