In our writing, we voice stories of two Australian rivers to convey Indigenous ways of knowing and being. Interweaving academic literature, nature writing and creativity, we craft a story of reconnection that is transformative, action-oriented and potentially political. An open mind, place-intuition and the process of attending can deepen our river relationships, creating a sense of love and communicative connectedness. Paying deep attention, we notice meanings embedded in plain sight, within hearing range of rivers and watery places. Our relationships may be “in our faces” such as the wind, or the air, water or bushes nearby. We communicate across binaries to experience the dissolution of imagined barriers. Feeling, hearing, writing and storytelling can support verbalising of experience, helping to bring to mind place-wisdom. It offers an everyday possibility for people now estranged from their riverine kin. The process uses a post-human-centred, common worlds frame to consider the Anthropocene in regenerative ways. It is creative and liberating, and rivers are dying for people to take action by speaking out for and with our greater selves. In this learning journey, we synthesise learnings, hoping to inspire people everywhere to hear the call of rivers, to respond, take action and learn to love their rivers again.

河流关系：为了河流的爱

在我们的写作中，我们讲述了两条澳大利亚河流的故事，以传达土著人的认识和存在方式。将学术文献、自然写作和创造力交织在一起，我们精心打造了一个具有变革性、以行动为导向和潜在政治性的重新连接故事。开放的心态、对地方的直觉和参与的过程可以加深我们与河流的关系，创造一种爱的感觉和交流的联系。深入关注，我们注意到嵌入在普通视线中的意义，在河流和水域的听觉范围内。我们的关系可能在“我们的脸上”，例如风、空气、水或附近的灌木丛。我们通过二进制文件进行交流，以体验想象障碍的消除。感觉、听觉、写作和讲故事可以支持用语言表达经验，有助于让人想起地方智慧。它为现在与河流亲属疏远的人们提供了一种日常可能性。该过程使用后人类为中心的共同世界框架，以再生方式考虑人类世。它具有创造性和解放性，人们正在为人们通过为我们更伟大的自我发声并采取行动采取行动。在这次学习之旅中，我们综合所学，希望能激励各地的人们听到河流的呼唤，去响应，采取行动，重新学会爱自己的河流。
