Go As A River

Inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh

I wrote Go As A River in 2024 after reading Thich Nhat Hanh’s “Story Of A River.” Here is the animated reading I created of that story.

In 2025 I attended the “Sound of Zen Retreat” at Magnolia Grove Monastery and my Dharma Group sang this at the Be-In on the last night with Win Grace on accordion & Nick Savelli on percussion.

Win and several others asked me to create videos of the song and how to play it with my non-traditional chord structures. Here you go Win!

  1. Thank you so much, Chris! I love love love this song. I’m sure you know that because once I heard you play it in a jam I wanted you to play it again and again. And now I can learn it! And maybe learn those fancy guitar chords Too. I might have to capo up though.
