The world has become more fluid.

So many sources flowing out at the top of each mountain

Streaming down the gullies, 

babbling brook,

to scuttling stream,

to rambling river,

out onto the delta,

Into the ocean.

Everything mixed and turned,

rolled and crushed

Whirlpool and flood,

tsunami and tidal.

It all takes place on this earth

and we all learn to live it, to love it,

to hate it, to berate it, to crave it,

to lust for it and

eventually to die for it.
