A Magic Thing


Seljalands River,
Iceland

A river seems like a magic thing.
Magic, moving,
living part of the earth itself.

-Laura Gilpin

Philippines
Niger River, Mali

A river is water in its loveliest form; rivers have
life and sound and movement and infinity of variation;
rivers are veins of the earth through which the
lifeblood returns to the heart.

Roderick Haig-Brown

Adelaide River, Australia
Kabul River, Afghanistan

No man ever steps in the same river twice,
for it’s not the same river,
and he’s not the same man.

-Heraclitus

Eisbach River, Germany
Thames River, United Kingdom

The river has great wisdom and whispers its
secret to the hearts of men.

-Mark Twain

East River, New York, United States

To put your hands in a river is to feel the chords that
bind the earth together.
– Barry Lopez

Pennsylvania, United States

Learn from a river; obstacles may force it to
change its course,
but never its destination.

-Matshona Dihilwayo

Hooghly River, India
Burma

I would love to live like a river flows, carried by
the surprise of its own unfolding.

-John O’Donohue

Kabul River, Afghanistan

You can’t argue with a river – it is going to flow.
You can dam it up, put it to useful purposes,
you can deflect it, but you can’t argue with it.

-Dean Acheson

Huangpu River, China

If the earth is a mother then the
rivers are her veins.

-Amit Kalantri

Miramichi River, Canada
Vietnam

Don’t push the river. Just go with it.

-Alysia Reiner

Tributary of the Brahmaputra River, Bangladesh
 Yamuna River, India

A STATEMENT BY STEVE MCCURRY

“I can think of few more extraordinary humanitarian
organizations than the EMERGENCY
hospitals in Afghanistan which have
operated continuously throughout the
turbulence of the past few years.
When many fled the country, Emergency
doubled down on their commitment to care
for Afghans as they have since 1999.”

– Steve McCurry

Starting on August 15, we are teaming up with Ishkar to raise funds by selling the print below at a special, one-time price to show Afghanistan we have not forgotten.
More information coming soon at http://www.ishkar.com

All profits from the print sale will go to EMERGENCY’S
work in Afghanistan.
