河流从不会消亡。一年之中，远处的山脉只需经历一次暴雨的洗礼，河水就能重新涨满，奔腾向前，对于流速较快的河流，这个过程仅需一天。活动在撒哈拉一带的图阿雷格人，在牧羊人和商队领袖中流传着这样一句谚语—“Aman, iman”，意思是“水就是魂”。在他们看来，河流生命的长短无关紧要，因为曾经奔腾而过的河水已为河床留下了足够植被继续生存的水分。从高处俯瞰，干涸的河流看起来像植被在河床上涌动不息。
在这些几乎全是绿色的小河中，我遇到了一条神奇的河，那是在9月的恩内迪高原上。这条如精灵般灵动的小河名叫阿歇伊，意为“总是充满水的地方”。虽然我只看到了一个巨大的山谷，那里长满了弯曲的刺槐和柔弱的灌木，但我知道，在河流狭窄的上游，一年365天，河水都像细线一样在岩石中间穿流而过，延伸数百米。阿歇伊河曾是加扎勒河的一条支流，发源于广阔的乍得湖，与尼罗河平行，一路向北流去。如今，这条河流已经干涸，一些半游牧民族在其沿岸毫无生命的沙丘上艰难度日，而乍得湖也已萎缩成一个池塘。其实，在并不久远的一千年前以及17—18世纪，加扎勒河曾经二度流向北部沙漠中的盆地，改变了那里的一切。科学家预测，若乍得湖水位上升2米，将足以使恩内迪沙漠变成绿洲。
在阿歇伊河附近，我偶遇了一个来自拜德亚特游牧部落的小女孩，她叫阿查，用一束黄色金雀花嫩枝遮着脸颊。她用这束嫩枝来收集小而圆的黑色野生小米粒，两天里，收集到的米粒堆成了直径70厘米、高35厘米的小堆。“今年的雨水尤其多，”她说，“河流会带给我们足够的食物。”在1292年，来自设拉子的伟大波斯诗人萨迪这样写道：“从高山上狂奔而来的激流在悬崖处消失，最微小的水滴被太阳吸收并被带到天空中。”
尽管世界上所有河流的储水量仅占全球可用淡水450万立方千米的一小部分，但这些河流不仅是航路，流动的河水还蕴涵着巨大的动能。在变成瀑布从天而降之前，一路流向低处也说明其潜藏着巨大的能量。如人类一般，河流也拥有不同的起源。罗讷河发源于冰川中一条结冰的小溪，伏尔加河则来自沼泽。河水也可能起源于巨大的湖泊，如安加拉河就来自于贝加尔湖；而艾塔斯卡湖那样的小湖也可以是密西西比河的发源地。河流的源头还可能出自山侧，如谢南多厄河和波河，也可能以非对称的形式蜿蜒现身于草原，例如泰晤士河。而说到古老的尼罗河，自希罗多德的时代以来的2000多年里，其源头问题一直是一个未解之谜，值得付出一切努力去探索。
