Don’t go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and “straits” your used to
Which makes so much more sense. Why would you say “lakes”. You already said river, which is a moving body of water. Why are we changing it from a moving body of water to a non-moving one? Isn’t it supposed to be a metaphor for not being able to chase a water fall because it’s impossible. But you can follow a strait or river, which is just another progression of life. Lakes have no progress. And yes I consider a passage way for water progression.
Adios turd nugget!
