The Architecture of the River

I have often wondered why water has such an immediate calming effect on the human mind. Perhaps it is because water does not hold onto yesterday. It reshapes itself endlessly, carving valleys through sheer gentleness. Watching the boat navigate the early morning fog, I realized how rarely we allow ourselves to be unhurried. We treat every delay as a crisis, forgetting that nature’s greatest works—deltas, canyons, tides—unfold without haste.
