Some teachings arrive as rivers, and some arrive as tides. This is a book about the difference, and about the long patience required to stand at the threshold of what cannot be crossed but only entered. It moves the way its title creature moves — without hurry, without loss of direction, carrying something old toward something that has always been waiting.
