Water is life. It may sound like a simple phrase to many, but for some of us it invokes a sacred sense of responsibility. Without water there is death. People, animals and plant life all rely on this most important molecule. It is a basic building block to life itself. Had I been born into the world of Greek mythology I think the role as a water nymph would have suited me just fine.
Peace

I find peace within watery scenes such as these. Calmness and reflection.


Reflection
Water offers us a reflection of ourselves and the world around us.

Wonder

When my son was a toddler he was fascinated by this little book. He had me check it out at the library so many times that I finally bought him his own copy. It’s amazing how much life can be found in a teaspoon of water.

Tracy Abell Another Day On the Planet


Water is a force of nature. Too much and that which gives life can also take it away.
Beauty
Water through the power of glacial ice or jet powered waterfalls has the ability to carve rocks into cliffs, mountains and valleys. I am humbled by it.

One need only to look upon the power and beauty of something like the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

Movement
Water has the ability to transport us across shores, along rivers and through deltas. Like many people, I think, I find a lot of inspiration when surrounded by water. Why do our best ideas come to us in the shower when we haven’t got a stitch of clothing or a pen to write with? Who says nature doesn’t have a sense of humor?

Until next time friends, may you find peace and inspiration everywhere you look!
