World Wide River Explorations.

. . .

Welcome to "the engines of my love," a regular review of why I love you, Martha Ellyn Sharp Nelson, and no other woman.

I love you because you never questioned my motivation, my interest, or my desire to provide the opportunity for a family vacation this summer. World Wide River Explorations was chosen because it fit the schedule. I thought I could afford it, and I still believe the money will all work out. I thought I was doing this for my kids and as a family bonding experience. However, it turned into an opportunity for me to be able to regroup in the deserts I love so much, to consider the ageless wonder of geologic processes, and to contemplate the consistency of a mighty river working it's way towards the ocean. Just as gravity is the controlling spatial force, I believe there is a `time gravity,' and a `spiritual gravity' driving us along the river of life towards our ultimate destiny in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Just as there are rapids on the Colorado River, there are treacherous rapids in our individual lives. If we are not diligent, we can lose our footing and drown in the filthy waters beneath the spiritual iron rod. If we are not careful, we can slip outside of time and meet our destiny ahead of schedule and before we have an opportunity to watch a sunset on the ocean as our Colorado River flows into our Baja. There may be a Glen Canyon or a Hoover Dam on our life's river, smoothing out some of the rapids, and providing temporary diversion from our life purpose. However, if we trust in the various gravities of our life we will make it to our destination. I hope you will be there with me when I make it to my port because I love you.

I'm interested in sharing why I love you. I know how important the written word is to you, and if you ever feel neglected, ignored, or unloved, and would like an up-to-date bound copy of these lovelets or any subset of these lovelets for any purpose you might have come to mind, please tell me or e-mail your request to rnelson@walden3d.com with the request 'lovelet update.'

With all my love,
Roice
