wade into the river

I passed over the Mississippi River today. For some reason, not fully developed yet (and so I won't do it justice in my explanation), this means a great deal to me. It was a very deep moment to see that water and to read the sign and to make the connection.

I saw the Mississippi.

I have crossed over the Mississippi.

I am on the other side of the Mississippi and am now several miles beyond it.

WOW.
