"Water, water everywhere . . .
. . . and not a drop to drink."
~Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Ponder the gift of water . . . not necessarily
one we think about on a daily basis. When
I lived on the West coast of Mexico, I had
to boil our water or buy bottled water in
5-gallon carboys. Interestingly enough,
the further south I moved, the cleaner the
water!
In my 130 year old cabin, you absolutely
can NOT have but one water running. You
can shower, flush, wash clothes or dishes,
but one at a time. Were someone to try this
whilst another is showering, suddenly you
would be stranded, water free, with soap
on your body and shampoo in your hair!
I consider that right now I'm on a kind of
H2O mini-vay. (Think I'll coin the term!)
Someone can be washing dishes, a couple
of others in the showers, yet another flushing,
and NO DIMINISHMENT of flow anywhere!
Miracle of miracles, make no mistake . . .
a gift of the gods
the element of water
gratitude abounds
