• Practica con suavidad. Piensa en el método como en una fina corriente plateada, no como en una catarata embravecida. Sigue la corriente, ten fe en su curso. Seguirá su propio camino, serpenteando aquí y allá. Encontrará los surcos, las grietas, las hendiduras. Síguelo. Nunca lo pierdas de vista. Te llevará.

• Trazar la historia de un río o de una gota de lluvia es también trazar la historia del alma, la historia de la mente que desciende y surge en el cuerpo. En ambos, buscamos y tropezamos constantemente con la divinidad, que como alimenta el lago, y el manantial se convierte en cascada, se alimenta, se derrama, cae y se alimenta a sí misma una y otra vez.

  Gretel Ehrlich

• Torciendo a través de la espesa maleza, arañado y agotado, uno se vuelve de repente para encontrar una inesperada cascada, a menos de media milla de la carretera más cercana, un lugar tan difícil de alcanzar que nadie viene un escondite, un santuario para las libélulas y los arrendajos que anidan, una señal de que todavía hay un pedazo de propiedad que no será poseído.

• The most stupendous scenery ceases to be sublime when it becomes distinct, or in other words limited, and the imagination is no longer encouraged to exaggerate it. The actual height and breadth of a mountain or a waterfall are always ridiculously small; they are the imagined only that content us.

• I was a heavy heart to carry
  My beloved was weighed down
  My arms around his neck
  My fingers laced to crown.
  I was a heavy heart to carry
  My feet dragged across ground
  And he took me to the river
  Where he slowly let me drown
  My love has concrete feet
  My love's an iron ball
  Wrapped around your ankles
  Over the waterfall

  Florence Welch

• Al final, todas las cosas se funden en una, y un río la atraviesa. El río fue cortado por la gran inundación del mundo y corre sobre rocas del subsuelo del tiempo. En algunas de las rocas hay gotas de lluvia eternas. Bajo las rocas están las palabras, y algunas de las palabras son suyas. Me persiguen las aguas.

• She is Melusina, the water goddess, and she is found in hidden springs and waterfalls in any forest in Christendom, even in those as far away as Greece. (...) A man may love her if he keeps her secret and lets her alone when she wants to bathe, and she may love him in return until he breaks his word, as men always do, and she sweeps him into the depths with her fishy tail, and turns his faithless blood to water. The tragedy of Melusina, whatever language tells it, whatever tune it sings, is that a man will always promise more than he can do to a woman he cannot understand.
