I didn’t think I was going to write anything today until I randomly opened one of my old notebooks. Actually.. I was searching for a blank page to write down something before it slipped from my memory.
And then the miracle happened.
My eyes caught a quote from a book, and my brain insisted on giving it some workout.
By the way, do you also have this habit of saving the quote but neither the author’s name nor the book it came from?
Just curious to know whether I’m the only person who does this.
Anyway, this is the quote: “To know a river, you have to know its source.”
So, according to my humble interpretation: to befriend a river, to communicate with it, and certainly to understand it, you have to know its source; how it flows, what kind of life it carries, and when it floods or dries.
Simply put, you have to know where it began, how it lived, and what shaped it.
Don’t you agree that some people are just like rivers.
You can’t truly know them until you know their sources; their history, their nature, their way of life, and certainly the reasons behind their tides.
With people-like-rivers, thoughts,
Nahla
