The river was glass and there wasnt even a breeze as I walked along the fitness trail yesterday. Whispy clouds and sunshine filled the sky. It was beautiful and quiet. A perfect morning to find that perfect, centering place inside your head. I found a rock outcropping that took me right down to the edge of the Androscoggin so I decided to sit for a while and just think and watch the river flow by. I hadnt been there very long when I heard an engine fire to life somewhere down river. Ive been around my town long enough to know that it was a seaplane that is parked in the river down near the Lisbon/Topsham line. I heard the engine throttle up and I knew that whoever was piloting the water bird was about to take off. What I didnt know was that I was about to get a pretty good show. I looked down the river just as that plane pulled up, still shedding water off the pontoons as it gained altitude and finally banked left and disappeared over Durham. It was a thing of beauty! Just as suddenly as the airplane brook the silence with its engine, all was quiet once again. The sound of silence. I knew it was my cue to skidoo so I hauled my butt up off the rocks and continued on. What a great way to start the day. Now its Monday. I didnt have the chance to start the week like that but my time along the river yesterday will get me through. Get up and get going! Lets do this! Monday you have no power over us! See ya on the other side.
