Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
Still water does not calm me, for I fear the turbid pond and the greasy puddle with no sense of depth and only a slow-moving life. I like big rivers, great lakes and the ocean. Their kinetic energy moves me with their swift currents, above and below. For rest I go to the desert, watch the light play with shadow, let the heat smother me, and like the other animals wait for the night.
