[This is actually a repeat post from catnipoflife’s sister site Awakenings that was featured last spring. The addition of the animated falls makes you feel like you are there. Feel its power, relish in its beauty as the waterfall takes on all your emotions and appeals to your senses! A HUGE thank you goes to Mary Helen Ferris (greatpoetrymhf) who surprised me with the beautiful animation that makes you feel you are right there experiencing the awesomeness of the waterfall!]
Something awesomely powerful and totally action packed IS at the same time oh-so relaxing. What is this two-sided coin?
The waterfall.
It energizes. It mesmerizes. It spiritualizes. It epitomizes.
It can even colorize with a spectrum of rainbow colors appearing in its mist. It is awe-inspiring, breath-taking and powerful all in the same moment. It is in the forefront of electricity and the backdrop for relaxation. It is the epitome of nature, the diamond in the rough.
Embrace the Past…
Before the invention of electricity, river waterfalls were used to move turbines, which powered mills that could grind wheat into flour far faster than any human hand. Its power became the mechanical basis for generators which could create electricity from the motion of falling water, the birth of hydroelectricity.
Empower the Present…
Yet, its sights and sounds can be completely mesmerizing taking the mind on an incredible journey into the world of imagination.
Waterfalls are the background for fairy tales and an all-time favorite in real life. They carry with them an aura of romance, a hint of magic whether rippling over a rocky rivulet or splashing playfully while descending rocky steps. Even when a brook babbling through a forest encounters a rocky riverbed, the result is nature playfully showing off one of its finest moments.
Enrich the Future…
May the waterfalls of life be the forces that lift your heart relinquishing thoughts of daily stress and drama. Let the meditation begin…
“Think of your life as a waterfall; it may come crashing down at some point, it may have it’s ups and downs, but in the end, it will continue to flow.” —Author Unknown

Waterfalls are so peaceful to watch & listen to.
There are so many different types of waterfalls just in Oregon that each has it’s own personality. Some are multi tiered such as Multnomah Falls while others are like a long curtain such as North Falls at Silver Falls State park near Silverton, OR. You can even walk behind South Falls at Silver Falls State Park. Some along the Columbia River Gorge are like Bridal veils and still more empty into large basins like Latourell Falls on the scenic Columbia Highway. They’re all beautiful and have their own charm.
How do you get those falls to move like that?
