Solitude by; M. Workman


The Platte River

Solitude
The state of being alone.
Solitude
Is only a state of mind.
Sometimes you can be as
alone
in a crowded room as you are on a empty river.
To become one with the natural world around you.
To become one with your kayak and the river.
To feel the power of the river’s current and the calm of it’s eddies.
To fly with so little effort over the river’s surface.
Gliding quietly by as the world stands still, for just a moment or two.
One only needs a little solitude.
