RIVER One of the most beautiful things in nature, constantly moving, changing every second. It brings such pleasure to people for fishing, boating, swimming, photography. It also can be the most devastating thing in nature. Ravaging, destroying, soaking a town that is doing all it can to stay in tact. My heart goes out to my home state, all those fighting terrible floods on a moment's notice. Remember that when the water recedes, the river will reclaim it's beauty. And we can thank it for proving that North Dakotans are strong, resilient and fighters. And as a people and as a community, after the water recedes, you too will reclaim your beauty.
