At home when I meditate, I usually focus on the breath but when I am here, I alter that process. After a brief time focused on breath, I switch to simply taking in what the river offers. She tells me stories. She shares her mood, flow, and spirit. Most especially, she shares her symphony of sound. Like so many humans, I rely primarily on my vision to take things in. When meditating on her shores with eyes closed, hearing becomes the primary mode of perception. The first time I did this I was astonished with the way the sound rose up to meet me.
