The river will never flow reverse! It teaches a lesson that we should move forward and move on every moment in our journey. We should not look back once determined and dedicate to sacrifice and focus more on our desired goals. Then only things will happen in reality. Just believe and proceed! Life is like a journey. Enjoy your journey in given time with available resources by fulfilling our needs to the best of our ability gives strength and satisfaction. Satisfaction plays a key role. A satisfied person is better than a successful individual. Success is a journey not the destination. Your effort is your valuable asset. Effort will never go waste. It has its own value. Be value based. Be as a trend setter. Behave as human.

Oh I love this chapter. It reads like a poem, the meaning under the bridge as “the river shows the way.” Feeling you tip toeing further and further into that river that is you, dear Mary.

I have heard it’s easy to be without love in Paris.

You can certainly be at one with this city:) Lovely photos.

So true: at one with Paris and its metaphor for love in all I see.
