White River

I consider the River Findhorn a sacred place... I dream of a day when the watershed of the River Findhorn has been reforested, when the howl of wolves can be heard on moonlit winter nights, and when wild salmon return to the river in abundance. Because that day will be a great day. It will be a day when we human beings have come to see our true place in the interconnectedness of the world, and have been moved to act upon that consciousness. It will be a day when we start to inhabit the Earth with a grace. Like a river.
