"But when I am alone in the half light of the canyon all existence seems
to fade to a being with my soul, and memories. And the sounds of the Big
Black Foot River, and a four count rhythm, and the hope that a fish will
rise. Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.
The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the
basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the
rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by
waters." ~N. Maclean
