Dreaming with the Dead Rivers

It is the dead rivers that stir something deep within me…

This one is the Paramera and it drains into the Barichara River. When I walk to these places, I am pondering how the locals say that water continuously ran in this drainage until about 25–30 years ago.

I add to this my knowledge that 95% of the native forest has been cut down in the last eighty years. The entire region is in the process of becoming a desert. It is a human-caused calamity.

My imagination stirs at the thoughts of bringing back the forest, connecting the biological corridors, and weaving of human activities into a local, material-based economy that is in harmony with agroforestry systems.

It is these dreams of dead rivers seeking to be born again that carries me through many human dramas. Steadfast I remain on course because humanity will only have a future if these dreams come to be manifested in the world.

And yes, the children are at the heart of it all.

Onward, fellow humans.
