October : Nature and Ruminations

On bike rides with my daughter along the creek I have been considering the water.

The creek is stagnant, on the one hand it is very beautiful, how the sunlight breaks through the canopy and creates halos in the fallow water, the vibrant greens and browns and golds. 

On the other hand it is quite repulsive, the sludge, the thought of being in that water - the smell... repellent. 

I feel a connection to it though, I myself have a fairly limited range of motion, with a baby I can only move so far, but in stagnation - or mundanity - lies also beauty.

Still Waters, Turbid Waters
