2.3b Rivers: "Dreaming with Grey Eagle Creek" by Deborah Bachels Schmidt

from Follow a Fish Poetry Conversations and Inspiration · host Deborah Bachels Schmidt and Clare Hedin

Last time we read Clare’s poem, “Deope,” for the river Deben in Suffolk, which opened questions about the importance of particular beloved places in connecting us to the natural world and building the foundation for stewardship. Today Deborah shares her poem “Dreaming With Gray Eagle Creek.” Our wide-ranging conversation after the reading touches on the allegory of rivers and spirit, of water flowing and changing as the river stays more constant and the comparison of water flowing, to music.
