MAGIC IN THE WATER

Perhaps the earliest lesson we absorb inside our mother’s womb as we’re waiting to be born…
is how there’s magic in the water keeping us secure and fed and warm.

It’s a lesson that continues from the moment of our birth:
How there is magic in the waters that flow across the Earth.

There is magic in the water that showers us from above
keeping everyone and everything alive…
for without the water from the rain we humans couldn’t survive.

There is magic where our tears of joy originate and our tears of sadness flow….
Magic in the water of our eyes…
Supplying us with tears…anytime we need to cry

There is magic in how each drop of water understand it’s value…it’s own worth
each knowing with time and patience…and when joined by other drops of water…
it can change the landscape of the Earth.

There is magic in how a misty rain, an ocean, a river or a stream
can soothe us when we’re troubled…and encourage us to dream.

So…if there’s magic in the water that surround us…
wouldn’t this also be true:
Since each of us is 60% water…
there must be magic in us…too.
