The Peace of Water

Reply

I’m currently reading Blue Mind, by Wallace J. Nichols. Now I know why I love the water. Now I also know why I have a short attention span… oh, electronics, you danger…

Being by, in, or under water does wonders for us. Baths may literally be saving my sanity!

And apart from all that, or maybe because of all that, water is beautiful.

This guy is happy about the water he’s giving the world, it’s in every line…

Turns out it’s a great thing to have water features at schools and universities. it calms folks down and helps them center.

And here we all are… wasting water, not protecting it.

There’s Peace in Water and everyone’s need for water demands that we make Peace for Water. 80 Indian nations are at Standing Rock protesting a pipeline for the sake of water. 80 nations may be more nations than have ever gathered before… ancient enemies have united for the sake of water.

Let us Peace in the name of Water, which brings Peace in and of itself.

Fountains of Peace

I love fountains. I know that in places where there is a shortage of water fountains are wasteful. Tell that to Nature who threw up all those waterfalls and said, watch!

Cascades of water are such a wonderfully extravagant statement. Look at all this beauty.

And to watch this one dance on the still water? Such a delight!

And that Mommie story is one of my favorites. It’s one of the things I got right with Mom, insisting there was a bath for her. Looking back, there’s lots I’d do differently but baths are not one of them. Remember when I am old, put me in a bath and read any of the stories that are on my kindle. Baths and reading are such a perfect, perfect delight.

(One of my great invention ideas in seminary was that someone should print a binder version of the bible and that the pages of each chapter should be waterproof. Trust me that a bible is too heavy to hold in the bath!)

We’re having an unbelievably beautiful day here along the Susquehanna. I hope it’s beautiful where you are!

Peace of the lovely fountain to you. Peace is abundant and as extravagant in her display as any fountain. Enjoy the beauty, bathe in it if you get a chance!
