just heard this quote hits straight to home:

Forgiving is not forgetting. It's letting go of the hurt.- Kathy


We walked through the archway and there it was.
Nature.
It was so beautiful, the trees, the rushing water.
The salmon trying to make it up the river.
I looked to the trees and realized that the trees have been there for years.
Watching the salmon come home.
Like they were their own children,
They lean over the river to protect their children.
The dead fish lie there lifeless: they were unable to finish the journey.
Slowly making their own grave.
While the little eggs sit in the rocks waiting to make the journey that their parents made.
The journey of their life's!!

wW went on a field trip for english and science class mix and we got to see all the salmon swimming up stream in different parts of the river and then they told us to write about it and this what i came up with i love writing in nature its peaceful and very easy to capture if you just look around you and just listen.
