“The problem with being lost on the river was that things appeared different facing south from the way they did looking north. It was as if there were two different bodies of water. The Mississippi, in fact, seemed like many different rivers. The level was always rising or falling. Sediment got pushed around, changing the locations of bars and shelves. Islands changed shape, sometimes becoming completely submerged, and old outcroppings disappeared while new ones materialized overnight.”

“My Dreams Have Footprints They leave a trail and they linger on, they remind me of the future I believe to hold on, there is an elusive acquaintance with all life has in store and all we wish to live for. This subtlety brings future back and forth to our doorstep, with every step we make and every step we hold back. We are unable to comprehend the potential changes we make way for in life and potential setbacks we invite when we deny to move on. State of mind has a great impact on kind of dreams one see. They could be beautiful or they could be uneasy. Dreams get life only when we breathe them right. We breathe in the focus and breathe out a plan hence giving life to dream in front of us. Dreams that wake us up in night are the ones that have most impact on our lives.”
