river of life

Blood flowing within

River of life is a phrase with religious and metaphorical resonance.

In Christian scripture, it refers to a river flowing from God's throne, symbolizing eternal life and spiritual nourishment.

More broadly, it suggests the continuous flow of existence—life's journey from birth to death, with all its currents and changes: She saw the river of life carrying everyone toward the same destination.
