This imagined scene is a clever way to reveal the competing perspectives about how to hear what the creek has to say. Each character embodies an ideological position, a slant to how they see things and that influences what they can hear from the creek. (And I thought I'd posted my comment on Sunday, but I see I did not....I'll blame it on having a good friend visiting from out of town. I think I talked about this post but didn't reply here.)

Thanks, Jill. I had a colleague who commented that the post matched her memories as a "recovering academic".
