We sat on the bank and the river went by. As always, it was making sounds to itself, and now it made sounds to us.
It would be hard to find three men sitting side by side who knew better what a river was saying...
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...
Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.
~Norman Maclean (from A River Runs Through It)
On our vacation, Jordan and I had the chance to hike over to Bad Branch Falls, just the two of us, and it was a very good day.

Ah... One of my favorite stories (and a pretty good movie, too.)
Yes, one of those exceptions where the movie was generally almost as good as the book. Of course, it kept fairly close the book and used a lot of its beautiful language, and that helps...
