Boat Ride on the River Quiet

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.” (Norman Mclean)

Dateline: Kampot, Cambodia. Another sultry day in November. Working in my office with this for a view, I consider how the hardships of life on the road balance against moments like these..a jungly riverside, sweet scented breezes and the busy silence of nature at work.

The owner of the resort where I am parked wanders by with a bottle of fuel. “Going to take the boat out if you want to come for a ride,” he says.

The mirrored world of nature reflecting her beauty back at herself

God’s favourite colour green in every mutable shade…

Sunset witnessed in silence
