An eerie calm descends when the rains cease, the hurricane blows over, an angry god is appeased. Fast-moving water can float things never meant to ride the waves, and strange, often strangely beautiful scenes appear before us. Odd craft drift by—dinette sets, quilted settees—and we wonder at the sight of someone too lost or too tired to swim. Floods can be an overflow of water or an outpouring of tears. These are images of the river's fullness and the heart's despair. We come from water. We are made of water. And in the end, water not earth will take us.
