I once sat beside a creek for an hour or so.
I sat still and watched the water flow, bubbling over rocks and causing fallen leaves to swirl in intricate patterns in the current.
As I stared directly ahead of me at one focal point, I had the realization that I was constantly looking at new waters.
I had accepted the idea that the creek was one body, however, it was really an endless flow of new waters.
This is how our stream of consciousness works too.
Thoughts come down the stream endlessly.
Most of the time, I find that we hop on a leaf and ride that thought down the stream.

Children and teens face stress just like adults.
