What is it about a stream?

that is so mesmerizing? My MasterClass journey will begin with an exploration of water. There is a river on one side of my residence; a lake on the other. While the lake is beautiful, it is calm. still. The river, on the other hand, changes each and every day, each and every moment. Full of stones, it rambles along this way and that, sometimes hiding the beach on the island, other times exposing the tiny grains of sand, pebbles, and chunks of granite that give this state its nickname. The river is full of sound - the rushing water as it hits the rocks that block its path down to the sea. The leaves, twigs, and other small objects that are tossed about as they are carried downstream. The snow and ice that change the course of the water and create new sounds. Creak, crack. There's a rhythm to it. Maybe that's the secret - the rhythm of the water as it makes its way through the channels, narrow and wide.
