Water

Today is International Blog day and the theme this year is water.

I am connected to it. I live beside it. Whenever possible I swim in it. Sometimes I float on it. I drink it. It is part of my body. It flows through my house in pipes. It falls on my roof in drops. It makes my food grow. Hot water calms me. Cold water invigorates me. Warm water bathes me.

It comes from the ground and from the sky. It surrounds me. I am grateful...and worried.

I believe we will not value our water until all the oil is gone. Then we will look to the ocean and see that all the fish are gone too.

I believe the next great war on the earth will be over water. I believe the battles will pollute the sky and the ground and contaminate the reason for the fighting. Then we will try, but never successfully harvest our tears.

I am a water sign. I am a water worshiper.

I thank the earth for this gift and treat it like family, because it is alive, and it is in my blood.
