Like a SALMON

Gleaming as it crashes against boulders along the banks, the river cascades towards the sea. The current grabs, pushes and tugs at leaves and logs carrying them along for the ride. Gravity pulls the water and the river pulls the rest downwards.

Suddenly a silver missile breaks the surface and darts upstream and then another, oblivious to the swirling opposition, the shining salmon swims upstream. They must go upstream and nothing must stop them from reaching their goal.

The current of the society’s flowing fast and furious, pulling downwards everything on its way. It would be easy to stay afloat and drift along, but God calls us to swim upstream against the flow. It may not be easy but it will be right.
