“If you lie out flat on the stones – it seems odd to try, I know – you will feel – here, that’s it – the warmth of the sunlight emanating from the stones. Turn your head to the side, ear to rock, and you will hear the earth revolving on its axis and an adjustment of stones in the riverbed. The heartbeats of salmon roe. One day I heard the footsteps of someone miles away, following someone else.” – Barry Lopez
