Underground Rivers

Underground rivers unsettle thoughts, feelings on stable ground. Real estate doesn't sound as real with thoughts of hyporheic flow beneath our feet, out of sight and sound. Rivers are meant to have light on top, transparency. Underground flow must look more like a furtive capillary than an upfront tributary, bringing salvific moisture down into and across and through deep ecological roots of fertility. Hypostatic unions are contrasts between understory backgrounds emerging into focal foreground, like darkness of night's flowing complexities from which light emerges each day then fades again, like Yang creation stories emerging from Yin hypostatic partnering, hyporheic flow deep down within ecological consciousness, subterranean channels feeding timeless roots of healthy real estates, cooperative becoming.
