Arianne, this was the perfect Manna to get this morning! I've been working away at a new book which has the river as the overall construction of a rambling collection of essays, poems, stories, flashes, and plays. I am the river...Your inclusion of rocks was perfect because I just included Margaret Atwood's quote at the beginning of the book: "Water does not resist. Water flows... But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does." Margaret Atwood, The Penelopiad
Oh, Marge, I love all of this so much! I am ELATED to hear about your new book. And this quote is both profound and beautiful...what a synchronicity! Thank you for all the goodness you put out into the world. You are such an inspiration to me! We are threaded together.
