today

Today I rode my bike down to the river. It was a beautiful day almost perfect , the sky was crystal clear and only the very slightest breeze. There is a beautiful spot down their , it's not too far from town but it can be very quiet there, there are times when you don't hear a machine for a long time, and in this world at this present time there are not many places where one can find peace from the internal combustion engine in its thousands of insidious forms.
As I stood there, thinking about a dream I had, a large carp with his huge back sticking out of the water came wallowing and mucking through the mud grubbing for his food. The wind was so still that one could hear all the subtle sounds of the river and the surroundings. That faint swishing sound of the water as it flows by, the birds, the insects, and all the other sounds blending together like a symphony.
