The river of god [3]


July rain flooded Te Awaoteatua stream. Strange things left their lairs and crawled in the water; myths skimmed low over the turbid pools, hissing; dreams flitted in and out of the rapids, murmuring.

    Kia ora Pete,
    The Taniwha were active indeed. This reminds me a bit of your work which hangs upon my wall and I am gazing at now.
    Cheers,
    Robb

    Kia ora Robb. Looking into a river or stream for more than a few minutes always seems to get my mind working differently ;^)

    Zhoen, I'm just glad it's not the "real" thing. That would be the end of it — it would never survive the rapacious exploitation.

    Full of movement, power, light -- everything. Well-named!
