   I love the murmur of that brook. “rainswelled” as adjective is fantastic.

   Wonderful, who doesn’t love the murmur of a quiet brook? It sounds so peaceful and yielding. Makes me feel like going fishing

   The yield and be strong leads to that ‘if only’ response; filled with the truth of every day.

      Indeed, Jilly! We so often want to believe that strength comes from our forcing.

   I liked the line “If I could only do what you say.” which is a good response to some advice.

   I normally see ‘murmur’ in a negative connotation, but it’s interesting how you and others with this prompt have turned it into something like a soothing voice of nature. Maybe if you’re completely unattached to the content and can just hear the audible sound, then I can see how murmurs can be like the flow of a brook.

   This is a most wonderful sound in this… I feel the awe in presence of the rain-swelled one.

      I, too, have experienced such serenity in the presence of a rain-swelled brook.

      We won’t learn the ways of water, so we dash ourselves on those relational rocks.
