Author's Notes: This idea came to me while listening to Ideas in the Afternoon on the CBC radio at work. They were discussing time in it's variants and it's flow or our flow within and around it. A gentleman came on saying that the Blackfoot belive that time is much like a river and we stand on it's shores. We can walk the shoreline and visit events in the past or to a degree, the future.
I stand on the banks of the river Time, watching.
I look in the direction of it's flow and I see only grey for the future; rocks, water and time, all surrounded by grey mist. I look away and see with almost startling clarity the moment when things went wrong, where they went wrong.
I walk the banks, going backward to stop myself. To warn against the Lion - the savior, and my own destruction.
I never reach that point on shore; I realize now that I can only watch. Never will my feet touch the waters of the past again.
