Valley of Life

 Valley of Life 

"Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything - even mountains, rivers, plants and trees - should be your teacher." 
- Morihei Ueshiba
Dr Abe V Rotor


Watershed, a wall mural by the author, St Paul University, QC

If a child asks, “What makes a valley?”
Forget what you may have read -
valley of death or valley of sorrow;
valley is the life of the mountain,
more so, that of the river below.
It is a watershed, it is a trough,
where clouds gather and fall as rain
where trees and flowers grow.~
