I recently left some water on the table…only half a cup but I was thirty so I took the water pitcher and quickly filled it up… As I poured water into water it became obvious to me when the water from the pitcher met the water from the cup… they blended easily. And once the two waters joined together once they were completely blended I could not tell where one water began and where the other water ended. And I thought it doesn’t matter where this water comes from out of my spigot or across the sea when I pour water into water…they blend so easily. And I thought it doesn’t matter the color of the waters because it’s easy to comprehend when water is mixed with water… how easily they blend. In fact the colors blend quite beautifully without having to be taught when one water is a color…and the other one is not. When two colors of water come together both colors are transformed… and from two separate colors a new color is formed…. It led me to think about water…and humans and it suddenly occurred to me If humans are mostly made up of water shouldn’t we blend more easily?
