Time And The River

The river cuts deep channels through the walls of time, countless eons recorded in fissures and crevices, a stony face weathering irrevocably down through the years.

From a photograph of the wall of Rio Grande Gorge at the Rio Grande Gorge Bridge, Taos, New Mexico. Title is from the book Of Time And The River by the great Thomas Wolfe.
