Thor Sørheim: 'Vasshjulet'



The waterwheel

 

The waterwheel made itself comfortable among the stones

at the base of the waterfall. Where rapids met current

the paddles whirled in the water, and everything depended on water

and the stones on which the sawmill was built. Out spouted planks,

thoughts and churlish words. It quivered and rumbled

down in the river valley when the waterwheel was at top speed and

hauled up the primordial force. When close to rivers I understand

how reality and dreams become interconnected.
