“To the western world, the word Thames is a mystery that even a sage cannot solve. In the past, places like the routes of rivers were known to everybody. And language always held a clue, especially in oral culture. The River Thames of London, England leads us back to Sanskrit….To Penn Kemp and the people of Southern Ontario, it reminds them of their heritage in ‘stealing’ a name for their beautiful home.
Poetry also refreshes the dream. So sit by the trees of your Carolinian Forest and make a wish. I will join you in this. Wishes lead to hope. Hope leads to action. So let’s hope that the waters of River Revery can feed the forests of blue ash, Fraxinus quadrangulata, whose blue dye was once used in the popcorn wedding baskets for the First Nations of Canada. Let us all wish and hope together that we can protect this environment for Ula and Kai. Amen.”

“River Revery is a beautiful love song given to the River and the blessed space you call home. How fortunate to live with such Beauty at your doorstep! I particularly like the Gallery discs—Look Closely and Jungle. Whole worlds are there. The Animation section is like an Incantation–—drawing us into the vortex of its being of place. So personal and with vision universal. Your voice—conjuring with transfiguring imagery— — —True Congratulations to you and Mary McDonald.
