More From Barry Lopez

I was 16 when i came to new york. i had graduated to a tenor banjo in the school jazz band, and it was kind of boring - just chords, chords, chords. then my father took me to a mountain music and dance festival in asheville, north carolina, and there i saw relatively uneducated people playing great music by ear.

I sat there and forgot and forgot, until what remained was the river that went by and i who watched. on the river the heat mirages danced with each other and then they danced through each other and then they joined hands and danced around each other. eventually the water joined the river, and there was only one of us. i believe it was the river.

Be wild; that is how to clear the river. the river does not flow in polluted, we manage that. the river does not dry up, we block it. if we want to allow it its freedom, we have to allow our ideational lives to be let loose, to stream, letting anything come, initially censoring nothing. that is creative life. it is made up of divine paradox. to create one must be willing to be stone stupid, to sit upon a throne on top of a jackass and spill rubies from one’s mouth. then the river will flow, then we can stand in the stream of it raining down.

I have transported many, thousands; and to all of them, my river has been nothing but an obstacle on their travels. they travelled to seek money and business, and for weddings, and on pilgrimages, and the river was obstructing their path, and the ferryman's job was to get them quickly across that obstacle. but for some among thousands, a few, four or five, the river has stopped being an obstacle, they have heard its voice, they have listened to it, and the river has become sacred to them, as it has become sacred to me.
