The Black River is a journey in faith. It delves into an exploration of life: from the calm, clear waters of the good days, the mundane, to the swirling eddies and deep waters of issues that face every one of us.

Walk Softly by Susan L.
There is a damp and sandy shore where waves have left their mark,/
Holding bare toed footprints for a breathless moment/
Before rushing, washing back on land, erasing them from sight./
The beach was walked from there to here/
But no sign showed the naked eye/
Of others who had passed this way for ages and an age./
It doesn't mean they had never been/
Their presence has been felt by God in a shell removed,/
A stick, a stone, or another simple treasure./
Or even something left behind: a shoe, a shovel, a broken twig./
Farther in among the places dry and thick with shifting sand/
One print wipes out another before the ocean breeze/
Erasing them both with sliding, shifting, miniscule grains./
It's the intangible path, the hidden way, the secret/
Long denied that leaves its traces permanently/
On the beaches of our soul.
"But be gentle to all." 2Ti 2:24
