Tom Robbins

Tom Robbins is one of my very favorite authors. (thanks big brother) Here is a passage from Wild Ducks Flying Backwards The Short Writings of Tom Robbins:
***
Rivers are the true highways of life. They transport the ancient tears of disappeared races, they propel the foams that will impregnate the millenium. In flood or in sullen repose, the river's power cannot be overestimated, and only men modernized to the point of moronity will be surprised when rivers eventually take their revenge on those who dam and defile them. River gods, some muddy, others transparent, ride those highways, singing the world's inexhaustible song.
