“The river speaks a language, something one isn’t born knowing but has to learn. I learned it from my dad. Some of it is wisdom, some of it skill.

It’s all part of the river’s story, which it’s always willing to tell.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

― Janisse Ray, Drifting into Darien: A Personal and Natural History of the Altamaha River

“STRANGE LAND

Love is the strangest land
It's that promised land of happiness
That everyone keep talking about
=======
Love means both beautiful and ugly
It does not discriminate against anyone
In front of a lover's heart
Who cares so much for a person who was
Formerly considered as a stranger
=======
Love is the bridge that all friends must walk on
This love can easily turn you into a martyr
It can force deaf people to wish they could hear
And the mute to wish he could speak and pour out his heart
=======
Love is like that stream of calm water
But every time it decides to flood
There will be no one to hold on
Since many people are mostly unprepared for the storm
=======
Love is full of peace and rage
It's another synonym of freedom - sacrifice is necessary
Another way to fully live your potential
=======
In the end, love kills, and love saves lives
Love brings peace and causes endless wars
It can either build or destroy everything in its path
Our innocent hearts have been colonised by it.”
― Mwanandeke Kindembo

― Giselle Beaumont, On the Edge of Daylight

“Life is a river. Life is not the mountain which speaks of struggle, nor the ocean that speaks of depths unknown. Life is not the sky which tells stories of greatness, nor the trees that tell stories of purpose. But life is a river that flows and the only way to live is to go into your river and flow with it. That is where life is. That is how you will arrive at where you are meant to be. Flow in your river wherever it may lead.”
― C. JoyBell C.

And this light in its endless streams,
And this breathless undercurrent of peace ...”

“Meanders overall, are in effect considered to be dynamically stable states, that facilitate homeostatic mechanisms. They actually help to innately maintain relatively stable or constant internal conditions (e.g. biochemically, ecologically, water quality, energy required... etc), as they interact to stimulus, changes or challenges, in and around the river surrounds. What's even more astonishing too, is their ability to be simultaneously transforming their surroundings in the process; quenching thirsts, bringing nourishment and delivering new opportunities that sustains new LIFE... around every bend!”

“Now, I imagine how the place must look to someone like Ms. Judy, the landscape barren and bleak after sixty-five summers without her, trees stunted in growth due to the numerous hurricanes, floods, droughts, and tornadoes over the years. As a result, the overhead limbs now bear the shape of the wind, the bank eroded and boggy, with multiple man-made items caught in the snags along the shore—fishing line, a board or two from an old dock, a piece of rope, an empty beer bottle.
But there’s also something serene about it all, to the fingers of fog sneaking through the leafy foliage, hovering like damp breath; the sweet and spicy smell of milkweed and traces of pollen coating the calm surface, each breath of wind shedding yellow dust.
We tie off along a clump of cypress knees, our lines swishing over the rusty-brown surface. Ms. Judy doesn’t even ask for help, flicking her wrist back and aiming for a narrow spot in between two fallen limbs, the movement like muscle-memory after all this time.”
― McCaid Paul, Dead River

“GO WITH THE FLOW... river network constructs or flow patterns and MEANDERS may... conceivably be designed with some intentionality in mind. Could it be that their crafted principally to be the most efficient, effective and sustainable way of travelling from 'A' to 'B'?”
