Water Is Life...

He that will learn to pray,
let him go to the sea.

~George Herbert~

Nothing in the world is more
flexible and yielding than water.
Yet, when it attacks the firm and
the strong, none can withstand it,
because they have no way to change
it.  So the flexible overcome the
adamant, the yielding overcome the
forceful.  Everyone knows this, but
no one can do it.

~Lao Tzu~

When the well is dry, we know the
worth of water.

~Ben Franklin~

Life originated in the sea, and about
eighty percent of it is still there.

~Isaac Asimov~

The oceans are the planet's last great
living wilderness.  Man's only remaining
frontier on earth, and perhaps his last
chance to produce himself a rational
species.

~John L. Culley~

Water is the driver of nature.

~Leonardo da Vinci~

Don't you realize that the sea is the
home of water?  All water is off on a
journey unless it's in the sea, and it's
homesick, and bound to make its way
home someday.

~Zora Neale Hurston~

I learned this past week that each
time we breathe out we release
droplets of water...in that release
we need to realize we are sending
love back to the Water...so think
about that please when you exhale.
This was told to my Dear Sister
Singing Water by an Elder and it
moved me profoundly...I am so
grateful she shared it with me.

I Pray You a Most Profound
Experience with Water, no matter
where you are, or what you are
doing.

A'HO!

On Water....

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!!!
