A river is more than an amenity, it is a treasure.
It is a fascinating and provocative thought that a body of water deserves to be considered as an organism in its own right.
I love the Gulf of Mexico.
There goes a river dragging an ocean behind it.
At the end of the block where I used to live in Coconut Grove in Miami, there's a swampy area, a no-name alcove with a little mangrove estuary. It's beautiful.
I think the concept of the sea is very important.
You can swim any way you like in the Dead Sea, actually.
I live by the sea, but the body of water I have the most feeling about is the Mississippi River, where I used to row and skate, ride on the ferry in childhood, watch the logs or just dream.
