Noanet

Noanet Woodlands, Dover, Massachusetts

Noanet is at the center of these woodlands, such as a spine of the living body.

In the early 19th century, the brook was dammed into the chain of ponds,
   helping humans rotate the waterwheel of the iron mill.

The whole venture had stopped soon enough and
   Noanet came through, flashing away almost all the remnants
     except for the ponds, which have enriched ecology of the place.

  Flowing, burbling, and telling stories... 

Noanet Woodlands: ... in the morning sunlight...

Noanet Woodlands: ... and shadows...

Noanet Woodlands: ... attached to each other...

Noanet Woodlands: ... to the earth...

Noanet Woodlands: ... to the blue...

Noanet Woodlands: ... invariably...

Noanet Woodlands: ... immersed...

Noanet Woodlands: ... in the stillness...

Noanet Woodlands: ... of the moment...

Noanet Woodlands: ... by the iron mill past...

Noanet Woodlands: ... when the brooks were single energy sources...

Noanet Woodlands: ... and hard work was the only choice...

Noanet Woodlands: ... multiple ponds assured the milling...

Noanet Woodlands: ... no more...

Noanet Woodlands: ... Noanet is flowing...

Noanet Woodlands: ... burbling...

Noanet Woodlands: ... to see and hear, step over...

Noanet Woodlands: ... and meet with the shadows...

Noanet Woodlands: ... of these golden hours...
