I made a little ‘canoe’, when I was a child,
to risk exploring the ‘river’ by myself...
First I slowly floated downstream
to learn to paddle it...
And I paddled crossways
to test the strength of it...
Then I confidently rowed upstream
to see the unspoiled beauty of the river...
Now my little canoe is well seasoned
to drift silently into any hidden area of the river
where big noisy boats and ships are unable to tour...
Thanks my little canoe ...
