The Nile

The Africa Posts

Today my son and his friend are white water rafting on the Nile. My knee injury prohibited that, but as my luck would have it, the property where our cabin is for two nights is adjacent to the Nile. 

And so here I am on this beautiful day of so many dragonflies and birds. I have walked down to the river and I stood in it. It is not cold. A friendly dog accompanied me. He is enjoying barking at some birds which I cannot identify. There is a mild breeze. The river is wide and peaceful. 

A beloved song came to me. Watch this video of the Nile and listen to this phrase of a prayerful song written by Holly Near in 2006, and sung by me today. 

Annie sings “Oh River” while enjoying this view of the Nile.
