“Understanding the fact that we are essentially water is the key to uncovering the mysteries of the universe. If you reexamine the world around you from this new perspective, you will start to see things as you have never seen them before.â€
Masaru Emoto - The Hidden Messages in Water
The most important thing in the world, the closest humans can come to God, the word I chose to write about is Water. I once heard of an experiment where different words were taped to glasses of water and later photographs were taken of the crystallized forms of the water. In the experiment, positive words produced beautiful photos of star like crystals while negative words produced pictures of dark depressed crystals. This got me to thinking about the fact that we’re 70% water and how we are affected by the different logos on the clothing we wear. I also think of bottled water, a friend of mine was telling me that Stern business school has their own bottled water. Is “Stern business†a good word or bad word? Is there another effect besides good or bad? Is this the reason Evian taste better than Dasani?
So we need 8 glasses of water a day, with a little effort this should be a pretty easy task considering the world is made up of oceans, rivers and lakes. So why does bottle water cost more than gas? The other day water was pouring from the sky, and I went to the deli and paid 3 dollars for a bottle of water.
8 glasses a day, that’s how much water we need to drink a day. Man that’s a lot of water. What happens if we don’t drink our 8 glasses? Will we dehydrate and dry up like a raisin in the Sun? I also find it amazing the combination of water and sun has on us as humans. In some ways they remind me of the mother and father. Which would be considered the mother or father, water or sun. And isn’t it really nice to go to the beach and hang out in the water on a hot sunny day? Water and Sun a perfect balance without sun there is no growth, but without water we dehydrate, with out water no energy, no spirit.
Water, the quiet giant with strength to move buildings, with ability to move throw even the smallest of cracks. When frozen transformed into floor of ice strong enough to hold hundreds of humans. Water the mother of earth. All that in glass in a glass of water.
Water is such an awesome thing. Last night I made pasta and boiled two cups of water and put my noodles in and in 12 minutes my stiff noodles became nice and moist. After preparing my plate of boiled noodles I went to the freezer and put 4 frozen cubes of water into my glass and poured my 3 dollar bottle of water into the glass. As I ate I turned to CNN to watch the coverage of Hurricane Katrina. Can you believe the entire city of New Orleans was submerged under 20 feet of water? Seeing all that water on TV made me have to use the bathroom. I went to the bathroom lifted the toilet seat, peeed, and flushed. I was wondering, where does all that water go?
[Hold on for a second, I need to get a glass of water]
Okay, I’m back, what was I talking about? Oh yeah water. Like the ocean, rivers and lakes water connects us all. We’re nothing but a bunch of connected bodies of water.
