Me!
Toni Morrison wrote that “all water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was”. Morrison was talking about writing and the Mississippi, but she could easily have been talking about the creeks that flow through 'Honeyeater'. satpa.pe/Zo0OpGR
Honeyeater
Toni Morrison once observed that “all water has a perfect memory and is forever trying to get back to where it was”. Morrison was talking about writing, but her thinking was steeped in the fluvial, the tendency of rivers to reassert themselves in the face of human interference. As Morrison said, “ ‘floods’ is the word they use, but in fact it is not flooding; it is remembering”.
