Millstream Flows - a photo on Flickriver

Millstream Flows

Mingus Mill
Great Smoky Mountains Nat'l Park
Cherokee, N.C.
06-05-25

From cloud filled skies the moisture falls
Into oceans, landlocked lakes, and streams
To the tops of frozen mountains where it melts and flows
through meadow, mountainside and valley
The rushing flushing cleansing flow
Forever purposeful, playful, powerful
Streaming along paths natural and humanmade
Along the millstream to the wheel
Whether grinding or not
The millstream flows
Much like the purposeful traveler
From cloud filled skies the traveler arrives
Landing along rivers and streams
Climbing mountains and exploring new worlds
Into the vale, up along the trail
Enjoying different feelings, different landscapes
Hearing the different languages of the world's denizens
Flowing along, like the millstream
Never wavering in purpose, always with
A true energetic destination at
the never ending waterwheel of life
.......
This is my last post before my latest adventure. When I get back I'll hopefully be filling my social media feeds with hundreds if not thousands of new images from the Emerald Isle of Ireland, flooding the waterwheel with gallons of new experiences and destinations.
More grist for the mill of plentiful purpose. More energy for my endless hike through Gaia's glory. Enough with the endless metaphors. ☺️ (At least until I get back.)
