Water
We are getting a lot of it in my neck of the woods. After six years of drought, experiencing ‘normal’ winter rains is challenging.
Good news for California…the snow pack is substantial. The rain has restored lakes and reservoirs to capacity. Bad news is underground aquifers are not reaching optimum levels. Additionally, the quality of water is troublesome, not just here but throughout our country. Flint, Michigan is a good example, and it is not an isolated event.
“Water is life, and clean water means health.” ~Audrey Hepburn
Rivers of the Earth, both great and small are akin to the blood system in the human body. When they are polluted, we are sick.
“I can’t imagine anything more important than air, water, soil, energy and biodiversity. These are things that keep us alive.”
~David Suzuki
In America, and most of the Western world, we live in water luxury. Turn on the tap, and there it is…easily accessible water. We drink it (maybe), we bathe, wash everything, cook with it, and water our plants and gardens. So easily taken for granted, and so easy to ignore the threat of poor water quality.
“Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans.” ~Jacques Yves Cousteau
Water is a sacred commodity. (See Blog Post of February 3, 2014). It is a symbol of the Divine Spirit. The Planet needs our help to keep functioning healthily, caring for our air and water is an essential requirement for our survival.
