Water is Life
Water is Life
It is this simple, really.
No water, no life. Sunlight, soil, water. These elemental forces are required. Are absolutely necessary. And yet, with all of our faucets, with our hot water on demand, do we really appreciate this? Do we really understand it? Do we respect water? Or do we take it for granted? It doesn't take having our water supply interrupted very long for us to begin to realize how constantly we rely on it. For cooking. For bathing. For washing our hands. And yet, do we treat it like something precious, or like something to be flushed down the drain?
In ancestral times, before aqueducts, before pipes, before tap water, there was dowsing. There were those with the gifts of finding water; the ability to locate a spring, a stream. Living in climates where water is limited–in a desert, for example. Or in the middle east, these gifts were a godsend.
If it didn't come pouring out of your faucet, could you find water? In the dry season–could you locate a spring? How would you even go about this? What would you look for? How do you know that water is near?
