Father Burt has written a series of reflections on the flow of life based on St. Augustine's analogy of human life as a river. Beginning in the heavens as a stream , it flows across a broad plateau until finally plunging over a great falls into eternity beyond. The River offers reflections on aspects of this journey, such as finding self, finding God, finding love, the search for honor, grasping at things, the beauty of the trip, growing old, and facing death.
