Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters. - A River Runs Through It [Eternity : Rivers : Water] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing. We lived at the junction of great trout rivers in western Montana, and our father was a Presbyterian minister and a fly fisherman who tied his own flies and taught others. He told us about Christ's disciples being fishermen, and we were to assume, as my brother and I did, that all first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly fishermen and that John, the favorite, was a dry-fly fisherman. - A River Runs Through It [Flyfishing : Montana : Religion] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK My father was very sure about certain matters pertaining to the universe. To him, all good things--trout as well as eternal salvation--come by grace and grace comes by art and art does not come easy. - A River Runs Through It [Grace : Salvation : Trout] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK Now nearly all those I loved and did not understand when I was young are dead, but I still reach out to them. - A River Runs Through It [Death] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK Of course, now I am too old to be much of a fisherman, and now of course I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. Like many fly fishermen in western Montana where the summer days are almost Arctic in length, I often do not start fishing until the cool of the evening. Then in the Arctic half-light of the canyon, all existence fades to a being with my soul and memories and the sounds of the Big Blackfoot River and a four-count rhythm and the hope that a fish will rise. - A River Runs Through It [Fishermen : Flyfishing : Montana] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK On the Big Blackfoot River above the mouth of Belmont Creek the banks are fringed by large Ponderosa pines. In the slanting sun of late afternoon the shadows of great branches reached across the river, and the trees took the river in their arms. - A River Runs Through It [Montana : Rivers : Trees] BUY VARYING HARE USED BOOK
