BY A WATERFALL, I'M CALLING YOU-000-0000
Remember that old song? What follows reminds me of it. We had an assignment in our writing class last week. We were to choose from a list, and employ our imaginations. The topic I chose will be obvious. Unhappily, I have no picture to accompany it.
"I don't take off all my clothes and stand underwatefalls anymore----not since I got arrested and featured in a Public TV documentary.
Long ago, I discovered the tranquility, the absence of extraneous, aggravating and intrusive thoughts which are always present in my mind while (I' m) wallowing under a free-falling wall of ice water. The soothing sounds of water crashing on rock, or on itself, and the calming diffused light filtering through the flow--sort of like Monet's haystacks produced the effect of meditation. It relaxed my overstressed mentality, and musculature to the point where I figured too much of a good thing would be even better, and to find total relief, I would be well advised to disrobe completely in order to commune more unequivocally with nature, and I did.
It was at that point that a public TV camera crew showed up to make a documentary. How could I have known that Niagara Falls would be of interest to anyone else?
Now I take a shower like everybody else."
