I just started this and I think I’ll like it, but I’m kinda slogging through this bit at the beginning where Macfarlane is like, “I know this sounds like a WILD IDEA but what if we actually took this zany notion that a river could be alive seriously?!” My brother in Gaia I’m right there with you I just wanna hear about those rivers you visited.
