Change-Dramatic or Subtle?

I’ve thought about this photo and it’s meaning (to me) often since I snapped it. As I rode that day, and reflected, it became more and more clear.  Here’s my take:

Much like life, this river simply follows it’s course, everyday.  In the absence of something dramatic, perhaps even catastrophic, it’s path doesn’t change.  However, if something dramatic does occur and the path does change, the river seeks a new direction, resumes it’s flow and adjusts to it’s new path.  Soon enough, this new path becomes the norm until the next change. 

What does your path look like?  How do you feel about change?  Can you adjust to gradual change or are you waiting for something catastrophic?  

Dramatic is ok. But I say control and embrace change before something catastrophic occurs.
