What do we call the river? Every moment the water is changing, the shore is changing, every moment the environment is changing, what is the river then? It is the name of this series of changes. ~ Swami Vivekananda
A winter message from the river: Never surrender! Life can try to stop you, but somehow find a way to flow! ~

Stay safe.
I took these images in mid July after heavy rains. Now the situation has worsened and millions of people are affected due to monsoon rains.
It breaks my heart seeing flood- affected people. Please pray for these people.

Whoever has learned how to listen to trees no longer wants to be a tree. He wants to be nothing except what he is. That is home. That is happiness ~Herman Hesse

July is the month of midnight sun in Norway. Due to the high mountains we do not experience the fantastic view of sunset – sunrise but anyways it doesn’t get dark at night in late june and july.
Here are some images from our late night walk along the river yesterday. It was very warm during day but extremely pleasant at night 😀
How are you spending your weekend?
For Jo’s Monday walk
After yesterday’s heavy rain we decided not to walk on tough terrain today rather chose country side for our walk with some light hiking on asphalt roads. It was cloudy with just a few light showers and temperature was perfect for a walk and especially going up hill.
While passing by the river we saw a duck who was desperately looking for his/her mate. It was just yesterday when we noticed this pair for the first time. The river is not flooding but the amount of water is none the less. The duck was making some sound but we could only hear the loud sound of the river. We stopped and watched this wonderful drama of hide and seek and were glad to see the happy ending. The river is full of fishes during this time of the year which might have brought this young couple to this place.

Every season is beautiful.
One ought to see it.
पानी
पानी वो एहसास है,
जो मानो कभी
जम जाता है।
और जरा सी
गर्मी से पिघल भी जाता है।
-रुपाली
एहसासों का बहना जीवन की निशानी है

Waves of consciousness roll in, roll out, leave some writing, and just as quickly new waves roll in and erase it. I try to quickly read what’s written there, but it’s hard.~
