The River Looks Back Once More

From River Dream View Original on Flickr ↗

This is not departure.It is recognition at the edge of leaving.She sits where water and structure meet, where the wild learns restraint without surrendering its truth. Her body carries the calm assurance of something that has already been chosen—by the river, by time, by the dream itself. There is nothing tentative left in her presence. Only clarity.The river does not call to her now. It simply watches. And she returns that gaze with a softness that can only come from understanding what has been shared and what no longer needs to be proven. This is not longing. It is communion remembered without ache.She is unguarded, not exposed.Open, not asking.In this final exchange, the river accepts what it has always known: that some beings are not meant to be held forever—only honored fully in the moment they choose to remain.And so the dream lingers here, suspended, complete enough to let go.
