When the river meets the Almighty Sea 



Recently our daughter-in-law, Bonnie, loaned us Jim Henson's Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas movie. This is a wonderful story about believing in the moment, having faith in our decisions, our life choices.

Ma Otter sings a beautiful solo entitled "When the River Meets the Sea." The music has an old-time gospel flavor and seems to lift your spirit up beyond the momentary cares of our daily life. It takes you to a place of higher importance and reminds you of the Truth which we should be striving to know.

Though our minds be filled with questions
In our hearts we'll understand
When the river meets the Almighty Sea.

I find myself on this plane of life which is filled with pain. I must honestly say that my mind is filled with questions. But somehow in my heart I do understand. I don't have any words which can explain that understanding, but it does exist. The river of life which flows through me, indeed the river which I am, or even more correctly the "flow" which is my experience, is returning me to the Almighty Sea. And when I meet the sea

In that sweet and final hour
Truth and justice will be done.

Yes, truth and justice will be done, when the river meets the Almighty Sea.
