This is daily post 202, toward my goal of blogging for a year on the Ottauquechee River. My opening question still confronts me and the river, "What is it like for you?" What is is it like to be this river?
A friend who doubles as a college president and zen priest, said to me, "Rivers, sure! Zen loves rivers: always changing, always the same."
Joan Didion has transposed the Christian proclamation of the glory of God - "As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be... " - into a description of Earth's ancient and ongoing movements, from mountain building to erosion. We can barely conceive of and never can know the antiquity and future of this little tributary.
