598. now a gentle stream flows


for so many years
a great burden of water
now… a gentle stream  🦊❤️

I feel a sense calmness and tranquility when I stand and look at the ruins of an old earthen and stone dam that used to contain a spring fed pond. So much effort expended by the stones and dirt to hold that pond together day after day until it could do it no more.  Now a gentle stream of spring water meanders through the memory of the pond long gone. 🦊❤️
