i went to the river this morning and walked down the river with makana my feet in the cold water and i walked to the gurgling stream and it was whispering it told me things so sweet it made my eyes tear up but the river told me one thing that really hit me hard and she said it several times and i feel like i need to share it with you all because i feel like she told me this so i could tell some people in my life who need these words she spoke in the sweetest most soothing tone and talked to me in a way that i could never doubt her she said, "i love you. i have always loved you and will always love you. i want you to not take life too seriously. keep a light heart. this life you live is a dream." she said that over and over " i want you to not take life too seriously. keep a light heart. this life you live is a dream." over and over it made me feel so good and so at ease like all my nervousness and all my anxiousness flowed out, away from my soul
