Water

When you are given a glass of water that you haven’t asked for and are told to drink it chances are you have received some devastating news or have suffered some trauma your world has been turned on its head and it is believed that a glass of water will help you cope and so without really noticing you take and drink that glass of water and it does help remarkably that which we routinely consume without a second’s thought is of definite help in a time of crisis I was recently handed a glass of water that I hadn’t asked for and was told to drink it which I did and amidst the upheaval that was then my world that glass of water became an anchor so when I turn on a tap something fundamental deep inside me is eternally grateful.

I suppose water is the elixir of life, and in times of strife gladly taken.
