When you stand up to your knees in a river... it rushesaround your legs with force and power, changing likethe essence of water itself to get around any obstacle
put in its way.On the other hand if you stand high on a mountain, orposition yourself at a window of an airplane and look down at the river from a long distance what you see is
the shape and form it has carved in the land.
A metaphor

This is a process-structure.
A river is dynamic, adaptive and changing while at thesame time carving a structure with direction andpurpose.
A metaphor
