Walking with the Creek God (part two): mother with no regrets-Western Ogawa

Share + 1 Tweet Email Fish, grassland, Forest, Man, Mother of Civilization

In the western half of the island, the terrain is relatively vast and gentle, and a large river also originates from high mountains, going through changes in topography and forest, flowing through human settlements, in addition to stream creatures, and feeding human civilization at the same time.

The sediment carried by the long journey begins to form alluvial fan plains downstream, and it is also divided into natural and man-made high canals and ponds, which slowly diverge and fade out with broad mudflats, wetlands and mangroves when going out to sea.

The long journey has given birth to countless creatures, has gone through too many changes, and silently bears the greedy sucking and fiddling of the people, just like a mother with deep energy, who only knows how to give, does not ask for anything in return, and finally only gradually gets sick and grows old.

Mother's dress and makeup

The mother's dress looks complex from a distance without pretentious brilliance. Section by section, but from each local color matching, flower decoration, we can see the mother of the earth a variety of delicate and deep feelings.

Then, all the innocent and guilty, pacified by the tide of their mother's skirt, slowly flowed into the deep strait.

The mother suffers from natural deficiency syndrome at present.

Flowing in the mother's metropolis, the artificial channel with clear water always more or less returns a little bit of cleanliness to the earth, representing people's need and compensation for nature. However, the artificial masonry shore that has nothing to do with the western alluvial fan plain, the environmental conditions in which it is almost impossible to conserve protozoa, and the unknown tendency to replicate everywhere, suggest that people have gradually forgotten the beautiful outline of the natural environment in the past. Can only rely on the vague and broken impression, patching and mending.

Maybe one day, follow the nature reserve by the nearby stream, or the national park, go up the tour, smell the mud, touch the roughness of the pebbles, take a look at the swimming posture of the stream fish, and if the river god still remembers his name, he will still be willing to talk to us.
