Journal #24: Water

Water is the nectar of the gods. Water flows through the world and flows through everything in it. Water gives life and replenishes it, makes things clean and washes away pain. A long gulp of sweet water after an intense run or strenuous hike is the best feeling in the world. Jumping into a deep sea of cool seawater puts the life back into life. Clinging for dear life to a boat bouncing across the heaving waves is pure ecstasy. With the salt spray flying off the pristine blue water and whipping across your face, you are the master of the world. The water is your dominion and you are the ever-reigning king. But you are a humble king, because the water is what gives you the life and power that you love. Still, in the moment, you blast across the waves; you gulp down the water; you dive into the sea, because that is what is right in the world. That is what flows into your blood and sinks into your skin.

Water is the stuff of life.

You searched through water too. You scowered it and you understand. Why didn't I search for this before. You love water like I love your life, you.
