Ritual

I saw Robert running down by the waterfalls, no doubt escaping the pressures of city life waiting above. That place has always been a refuge for me too; close to home and easily accessible from the street, but almost totally natural; an island of paradise on the edge of suburbia. We got a chance to talk about life and ways to quiet anxieties in the mind. Of course, visiting the source of waters does wonders for clearing the mind, and has become something of a regular ritual or a pilgrimage for me. Now I see it has become his ritual too.
