In an age when man has forgotten his
origins and is blind even to his most
essential needs for survival, water along
with other resources has become the
victim of his indifference.
~Rachel Carson~
Water is the only drink for a wise man.
~Henry David Thoreau~
The sky broke like an egg into full sunset
and the water caught on fire.
~Pamela Hansford Johnson~
All the water that will ever be is,
right now.
~National Geographic, October 1993
If there is magic on this planet, it is
contained in water.
~Loran Eisely, The Immense Journey,
1957~
We forget that the water cycle and the
life cycle are one.
~Jacques Cousteau~
When you put your hand in a flowing
stream, you touch the last that has
gone before and the first of what is
still to come.
~Leonardo da Vinci~
To trace the history of a river or a
raindrop...is also to trace the history
of the soul, the history of the mind
descending and arising in the body.
In both, we constantly seek and
stumble upon divinity, which like
feeding the lake, and the spring
becoming a waterfall, feeds, spills,
falls, and feeds itself all over again.
~Gretel Ehrlich~
From Islands, The Universe, Home
1991
All things are connected, like the blood
that runs in your family...The water's
murmur is the voice of my father's father.
The rivers are our brothers. They quench
our thirst. The carry our canoes and feed
our children. You must give to the rivers
of kindness you would give to any brother.
~Chief Seattle~
Here's wishing you all get to a body of
water this New Moon...
In Brilliant Blessing,
A'HO!!!
