When was the last time you took a drink of water? Five minutes ago? An hour? Today? Until we lose something that is seemingly commonplace in our lives (example: people-places-things…)many times we truly don’t give it the respect deserved. This applies to every area. Today, let’s talk about water.
Did you realize how many people wake up every day without the ability to enjoy clean water? If you are blessed to be one with clean water, don’t ever take it for granted. Water plays the often understated role of a mundane miracle. We swallow it almost without thought, yet every drink allows us to think better-move better-feel better-and live better. We constantly go without adequate water for hours on end, not remembering that our very bodies are made up of primarily of water! We desperately need it to function at top capacity. To cook? One needs water. To clean? Water. To swim? Water. To ski, dive, go boating, relax floating, and so many other things people enjoy? Water. Even the very water with which we make other things is very necessary, and often brings us comfort. When you’re warm? Freeze water into cubes for refreshing relief. When you’re cold? Heat water to make warm soups or drinks. When you have pain? A trusty ice-pack does the trick. When the land needs comfort and is dry? Rain quenches the drought.
Water is powerful. Have you taken the time to listen to beach sounds? It’s truly therapeutic being near water. Waves crash to shore, pounding…pounding…and reminding us how small we really are in the grand scheme of things. It’s a broad expanse of a universe, y’all. The whitecaps curl and foam, then crash once more-only to recede back into the ocean and start again. Always within the bounds set by their creator. Every crash, a reminder. Every wave, a wonder. Every drop, liquid love.
Both too little- or too much water can be destructive. It is a powerful force. Like us, when life is limited-we are not at full power. When we are excessive-it becomes overpowering. What is the solution? Balance. Naturally.
Have a drink, y’all.
Of water.
