From the Coosa River Basin Initiative Facebook page...
Who can guess the luna’s sadness who
lives so briefly? Who can guess the
impatience of stone longing to be
ground down, to be part again of
something livelier? Who can imagine
in what heaviness the rivers remember
their original clarity?
Strange questions, yet I have spent
worthwhile time with them. And I
suggest them to you also, that your
spirit grow in curiosity, that your
life be richer than it is, that you
bow to the earth as you feel how it
actually is, that we—so clever, and
ambitious, and selfish, and unrestrained—
are only one design of the moving, the
vivacious many.- Mary Oliver from A Thousand Mornings
