A city of parts, all near water, all so far from water when you are in them. I go no sense of waterways when I was in the Park Slope area or Central Park. Even the staten Island ferry seemed to relate to the water more as a highway than a waterway. A strange place that buries it’s water influence so strongly. Not even the motel gave a clue to the river flowing so strongly out to sea only a few blocks away.
The strength of the water was most evident to me when I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. I saw the currents, eddies, and the push against the ships traveling upstream. Then I felt the how the river must have enticed the colonists inland as the water pushed them out. The colonists, like salmon, sensing that they had to go against the direction of the water to get to where they were supposed to begin the next cycle of life.
