"The blue mountains walk to the kitchen and back to the shop, to the desk, to the stove. We sit on the park bench and let the wind and rain drench us. The blue mountains walk out to put another coin in the parking meter, and go on down to the 7-Eleven . . . 'Such mountains and waters of themselves become wise persons and sages' – become sidewalk vendors and noodlecooks, become marmots, ravens, graylings, carp, rattlesnakes, mosquitoes. All beings are 'said' by the mountains and waters – even the clanking tread of a Caterpillar tractor, the gleam of the keys of a clarinet."
