I could feel the water and the base and also the base of the river was hard concrete but a bit uneven. Then I wanted to take the water in my hands but could not so I had a shiny silver foil like thing from which I made a bowl like thing and then took the water in it. Then a white seagull flew above my head make it’s chirping noise and I really liked it. Can you please explain this?

Alok Da
