“Gail loved the ebb and flow of a wilderness river – the very real effect it had on her mind and body. She knew that to surrender to its tempo = to go with the flow – was the natural way to be part of the environment. To become one with the rapids and the pools, with the canyon walls and the sandy beaches, with the sun-blasted sections, and the dappled shadow of overhanging canopies. Experience had taught her you fight the flow at your own peril. If you embraced it, your body purred with the pleasure of being in synch with nature.”
