Yangtze River Travels
Samuel has an inspiration to travel down the Yangtze River to see the country and experience life there. So he sets his boat into the river with his equipment, skills, and
knowledge. Now his general direction is set for, most of the time, he will choose to go downstream. The river will carry him right through the experience that he set out to have. There is an underlying momentum and direction that is generated by his original choice. The river is what happens, what is.
But, moment-to-moment, he gets to choose where on the river to maneuver. Where to stop. Whether to go back upstream and buck the current. Where to take a run over the waterfall. He can choose to run the entire river, or to stop and stay in an intriguing place. He will meet others along the river and will make decisions on how to interact with them. The combination of his original choice and his moment-to-moment choices are the combined momentum and direction of his travels.
Life.
