‘The River as Mind’

The author reflects on a moment of insight they had while observing a river in the mountains of Cyprus. They draw parallels between the flow of water over rocks and the patterns of the mind, and consider the role of beliefs and perceptions in shaping our experiences of the world. They reference the work of Gregory Bateson and the Santiago theory of cognition, which emphasize the inseparable connection between mind and life.
