The lonely stream

I have come to gather that there is an existance,whom get's the worst treatment,but still comes back for more,the stream.

How do you figure this ?

Just think for a second,during summer it has friends(fish spiders and etc.),but at the same time it gets "the treatment".Spit on/in,pissed on/in,and trash dumped on it by female and male alike.Yet in the winter it has nothing,and goes through the same treatment,and it's cold,also very very lonely.

So what's the point?

The "point" is,that even through all of this,and more (drying up,freezing,being trashed and hated,etc.)it still provides for the inhabitants,feilds and grass,very proudly.Even through a great heart breaking experience,and loneliness,it provides,and thrives to live just to provide.All of this just for the next time it's heart is full and the loneliness is broken,and it is embraced again!.

What's that got to do with me?

Well many people feel that when they get lonely,they should simply die,or kill themselves,which is wrong,because even the strongest loneliness has a spot where the "wave will break" And the tide will "roll back".It will however always leave it's "highwater mark",(emotional damage for a while),but like the stream we should all thrive to live until the great loneliness is broken again.No matter what "happened" or "happens",that wave has to break.

Why do you think the stream thrives

The same reason our heart beats,to be life,love,and happiness,and even if lost it comes back,maybe even stronger.

What does it symbolize?

I think it symbolizes love,and goodness in the heart,Stength,unity,and also a great knowledge.Next time you see a stream,sit next to it,and think of this,feel it's pulse and the way it thrives,simply just to be.Tell me what you truly see,then the rest of the answers you seek will lay in you,my friend.

As always I hope this touches,and helps someone,I am your friend,and always will be.If you need anything message me.

sincerely,
