The Amazon —
Amazing Green Mystery
by Robina Tower
Rain pelted down in large opaque drops. Great trees flung across the river so that the canoes and their contents had to be pulled over them.
At first getting used to the verdant green hurt the eyes, eventually they focused on the many hues of green and then the browns of tree trunks and branches, flowers of every imaginable color, shape and texture softening the green.
Each day rain comes and goes at any moment for varying marks of time. Rivulets of mud where humans have left their path, wind downward towards the river's edge. The rain is sometimes so loud one cannot hear one's self speak, let alone each other.
