Not To Resist The Flow




Resurrection:
Glen Canyon and a New Vision For the American West





The point is,
not to resist the flow.
You go up when
you're supposed to go up
and down when
you're supposed to go down.
When you're supposed
to go up,
find the highest tower
and climb to the top.
When you're supposed
to go down,
find the deepest well
and go down to the bottom.
When there's no flow,
stay still.
If you resist the flow,
everything dries up.
If everything dries up,
the world is darkness.
--Haruki Murakami
