Let the Words Flow Like a River

By J.E. Nickerson | Scenic Reflections

There’s something about rivers—the way they move with quiet strength, shaping everything in their path without forcing anything. Rivers aren’t forced, they flow over rocks, through valleys and carry life giving nutrients to everything they touch.  That’s the reflection for this post. 

As you watch today’s reflection, slow you down—just enough to hear yourself think again. As writers, we can get stuck in our heads or try too hard to control the flow of words to craft the perfect article. But creativity often works like a river. It needs space. It needs calm it flows on its own. And it needs you to trust that it will carry something worth saying.

Let the words flow like a river out of you.

Don’t force them. Don’t dam them up or keep your voice bottled up. Just make space—and let grace do the rest.

I hope these moments of calm will meet you in the middle of your own story—and help you keep writing forward.

Draw strength from this beautiful reflection movie and let the river carry you to a place of peace.
