Our Mighty Tennessee River is the color of creamed coffee. Has been for four days. All that earth from the mountains of Appalachia divided between Tennnessee and North Carolina, is now stirred into her depths. It will soon be deposited across all of Tennnessee, parts of several other states, and eventually into the Gulf of Mexico, where it will spread across the world. Like a weeping lament heard round the earth sharing the grief of so much loss. “We therefore commit this body to the ground. Earth to earth. Ashes to ashes. Dust to dust; in the sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life.”
