A Rock in the River by Lydia Nitya Griffith

I would like to be a rock in this river to feel the ever constant movement of wild water and the current’s caress like a love affair for all time.

Combined all together, they serve as a force powerful enough to cause landslides, avalanches, earthquakes, and other disasters in Read More
