The Tennessee River Is Not A Cause Celebre


The Great Silver lies before me as it has lain upon the earth from the beginning of time.  I find being near her a great solace and cause for meaningful contemplation.  When we place ourselves in relationship with the greats of the earth, her rivers, mountains, rifts, canyons and waterfalls we bind ourselves to her seeming eternity and our own desire for that.  A great longing for our continuation, our "valueness" to be recognized and even honored.  To be alive is the most profound achievement of a human (but you have to choose to be made alive).  This relationship with earth caused one man to say, “what is man that Thou are mindful of him?”  It is Who answers back, when we choose to be made alive, that gives us the value we crave.  However, most humans today, never finding themselves anywhere near a relationship with earth, view your Great Find as a minor cause celebre.

Fair Haven when we first started the grading to give us nearness to The Great Silver.
