The Fraser River Grows from Small Beginnings

Crossing the broad estuary of the Fraser River on one of the several bridges here near its mouth, we rarely think of how it all began. But seeing the narrow stream in the northern Rockies less than thirty miles from the headwaters really made me think.

When a small force begins, and others join and flow in the same direction, power accumulates. From small beginnings great and wondrous things can grow.
