In between clefts of Granite deep in a misty mountain covered with Evergreens, clear water runs from the cracks in the earth. As snow capped peaks melt away and give up their frozen treasure that trickles down through ancient pathways worn out of the dark earth. The water sees the sunlight with a rapid flow cascading white and silver over rocks and ledges speeding down into beds of gravel and over boulders. The water rushes into  river that gives life to many things. Birds live on it and drink from it as fish swim under the swift cool current. Forest animals bathe in the cool water on a hot day and find food from the green grass growing along the banks where the river water flows. Amazing things come from the life giving water as it tells it's tale of a journey that it makes to return to the ocean from which it came.
