Dear Journal,
I have been studying the river now for many years with Vasudeva. He has taught me all the secrets of the river and how to learn them from the river. After contemplating the the river I started thinking differently about the it and how it flows. Just the way the water moves with the current and always returns, so does life. It is a continuous circle of life that never ends. All births and deaths are all part of a unity that is timeless. I have now learned that in order to understand life I have to understand things before hand first. Joy, sorrow, life, death, good, and evil are all necessary parts in discovering the meaning of life as a whole. It has taken me years to learn to finally learn all the secrets of the river. Once I had announced my victory for learning the secrets of the river Vasudeva told me that he will be leaving into the forest. He has been with me for years studying the river and many more years he spent with it before he even met me. Vasudeva is no longer a ferryman, he has left me that job. Now he dwells in the forest where he has retired to. Now I am Siddhartha the ferryman.
Siddhartha

I like how you preserved this journal. Maybe you can put a picture as well so that we get a perspective of what is going on.

What would have happened if Siddhartha wasn't studying with Vasudeva? Would he have learned everything he has learned about the river on his own? Vasudeva seems like he has greatly influenced Siddhartha, also great structure!
