People from India consider the Ganga to be a goddess, Goddess Ganga. We think of the Mississippi as "Momma Mississippi." She's the Queen, we're the worker bees. The Chinese consider the Yangtze to be their “Mother River.” Protecting mother rivers is our shared obligation across the earth. “Pachamama" they call her in South America. Here on our continent, big river people like the Yakima and the Chinook think of their beloved Columbia River as "Nch'i-Wàna."

Rivers do it. Ocean currents do it. The atmosphere does it. Fish do it. Birds do it. Why can't we?
Water flows together. We are mostly water. We can flow together too.
