The Rivers Reddit
Rivers - natural flowing watercourses, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill. There are no official definitions for the generic term river as applied to geographic features, although in some countries or communities a stream is defined by its size. Many names for small rivers are specific to geographic location; examples are "run" in some parts of the United States, "burn" in Scotland and northeast England, and "beck" in northern England. Sometimes a river is defined as being larger than a creek, but not always: the language is vague.
Rivers are part of the hydrological cycle. Water generally collects in a river from precipitation through a drainage basin from surface runoff and other sources such as groundwater recharge, springs, and the release of stored water in natural ice and snowpacks (e.g., from glaciers). Potamology is the scientific study of rivers, while limnology is the study of inland waters in general.

Would there ever have been a time when you could cross from the Hudson Bay to the mouth of the Mississippi?
The Red River of the North ends very close to where the Mississippi River begins. Could there have been a time where the water level was high enough that they could meet and it would become one river system?

at river’s end
every stone and every hole
every lie the water told
every shade on every bend
was known to me at river’s end
every cut and every loon
every dance the bluebells’ bloom
every mist the lord intends
was known to me at river’s end
every word and every thought
every truth my heart had sought
every soul among my friends
was known to me at river’s end
