Gentle Strength

Peace is standing by the River Nile,

Watching Felukkas lazily sailing.

People talking, walking, going nowhere, Nowhere to go.

Graceful cruisers laying side by side, small waves lapping at their bows as the waters of the

mighty Nile course ever onwards past here........

The air, hot and still, cools as it reaches the steadily flowing current and a gentle breeze fills the sails of passing boats. The tall grasses the grace the Nile islands, sway and almost dance as the cooled winds move through them, some nestling in the centre of this most Magnificent of rivers.

It calms the mind.

It pleases the eye.

With so much change and turmoil abounding its comforting to see, and know that LIFE is still being fed with such Gentle Strength.
