With my own young (toddler/pre-school age)children, there were walks down the hill from our house to "our" beach on the banks of the Roaring Fork River, in Colorado, for hours of picnicking, sand-playing, and rock throwing fun. In later years, while living in Idaho, we enjoyed many family river excursions with our boat. We'd head either south to the Snake River,(of which which Jennifer previously spoke,)or north to the St Joe River, two very different rivers but each with its own personality and glorious beauty. Rivers talk. I love to listen. Flow has been one of your books I have most wanted to read and yet still have not. I am so happy to know it is finding the breath of new life in paperback form. Great news, Beth. Congratulations!

I did not take "coffee breaks; instead I took "river breaks", daydreaming while looking at the river.<br /><br />I lived two long blocks from the Hudson River. On weekends I walked to a pier, sat on a bench and watched the movement of the water.

The river had been the center of an industrial mill town, filled to the brim with chemicals and waste, but she's cleaner, and I'd like to think calmer than she was those years ago.Serenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745809545249574387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017619759232312084.post-82100752854371960022014-06-20T17:05:06.929-07:002014-06-20T17:05:06.929-07:00I have almost always lived near rivers, and a rive...I have almost always lived near rivers, and a river is a central presence--almost a character in its own right--in my first novel.<br /><br />One afternoon, I sat by the Snake River in Idaho and just watched pelicans swim by. It was one of the few times in my life when I took the time to just sit and do nothing but watch, totally at peace.<br /><br />Here is a song for you: "Find the River," by REM.Jennifer R.
