Fall has come to Rock Creek, and each fall I hear Robert Redford’s voice as we hike the trails of this national park nestled in the middle of urban DC. A River Runs Through It (based on the book of the same title by Norman Maclean) one of the best outdoor movies of all time, is where Redford’s voice originates — the timbre of his voice and its slowly undulating storytelling phrasing, is that of fall — the story of autumn slowly unwinds from the lush green of summer to reveal hidden colors and valleys that summer masks with its humidity. Most everything I know of storytelling comes from Robert Redford voice — pacing, deeply descriptive language, emotion, painting — listening to his voice in River will have you ready to buy your first fishing pole and metronome (or hiking poles too) and head to the woods in wool trousers. For fall, I highly recommend watching, but mostly listening to River — and seeing where you feet on the dream of autumn will take you.
