“When I write to you about the river, I am writing to you about the long part of ourselves … The story of a river, and of all landscapes, becomes in a very real way the autobiography of each of us … Like back and forth sensing. there is always something beginning when something appears to have ended.”
Lance Kinseth, from River Eternal (Penguin, 1989).
