Re: Walking is the process of continually heading for a fall...and never quite falling.
Hang in there. Rivers rise, rivers fall.
Don't build in a flood zone.
I remember reading Michener's "Chesapeake" years ago. Forgot everything about the book except for a few things about punt guns, and a sequence at the beginning that made an impression. An Indian is examining an island as a possible place to settle, but realizes that it is slowly being worn away inch by inch by the currents, and will be gone in a couple of hundred years. The location is discarded. That's forward thinking.
