TO BE ONE WITH THE RIVER

Excerpt:
“We are entering the upper inner granite gorge of the Grand Canyon, we are to travel 300 miles down a gradient of 2,200 feet into the Mother, this river her cleft; the gorge which holds it and above us, the eerie tawny pink folds and crevasses of canyonlands her secret inner anatomy.”

Excerpt:
“Something in me” directed my eyes to look up, exactly into the doe’s eyes. Her gentleness has seeped into me. So has her matter-of-factness. She and the geese are both “doing their thing”. She chews; they rest. Both species belong. Do I?”
