The Jordan River

Destinations: The Jordan River, Beth Shean and Jericho.

The Jordan River reminds me that some ideas are stagnated by the systems that are created to promote them. The murky water hardly resembles the clean water of a river, and yet this is where tradition notes that John the Baptist, and god Almighty acknowledged Jesus.

The magnificence of Beth Shean reminded me of the story of Saul and Absalom in their final humiliation.

Today I was reminded of the inevitability of transitions in human history.
