We need a healthy planet to have healthy bodies. Water is the blood of the Earth. Dams are hot spots, restricting the flow, creating a fever on the planet, contributing to the extremes of climate we are experiencing. If you fly over the country in winter with snow on the ground, you will see that there is no snow around places where big dams are holding back the waters.
These are the hottest years ever recorded while extreme cold hits places unprepared for it. We need to unblock the water, not constrain it. Water is a living being.... one of the liveliest and most playful forms of life on the planet and...it wants to be free. Stagnant water is an unhealthy medium where deteriorating organisms thrive.
Sweet water is exactly that..."freshly squeezed sky juice" we call it around the house. It comes through the rain, the dew, the snowflakes, the rivers, lakes, from the clouds carrying it out of the oceans, leaving behind the salt and heavier minerals as well as the pollutants, purifying as it is distilled over and over, cleansing and healing as it moves around the planet. The forests hold it in the soil, insulating the great giving green, keeping it moist and rich.
Water fills our lives daily. We drink it, sink into a hot bath, splash it cold on our face, refresh in a shower or steam in a sauna. It cleanses and heals our emotions, our spirit and swimming in it is a miracle. Whether we swim in it, play in the snow or skate on ice, water in its' many forms provides so much pleasure and fun. It has immense power to destroy as well, like all the other elements... Earth, Fire and Air.
The ocean revives us with its' energy, the salty water draws out the negative things that fill our lives. It mineralizes us as we absorb the moisture through our pores. The purer the water, the more revived we feel.
When I open the tap in the morning and splash fresh, cold water on my face, I thank the water for its' cleansing, healing and purification...for the life and love it gives. It is the blue of the ocean reflected in the sky, this beautiful blue ball swirling with clouds...it is water which gives us life and makes this planet so special, One need only look at the barren pictures recently returned from Mars (or the Moon) to see how incredible this planet is.

We don't need to make it a commodity like most everything man does with the natural world. Don't put it in manufactured plastic bottles to be sold in stores or traded between countries. We need to take care of it...keep it pure and clean, not dump waste or pollutants in it for that doesn't really take them away, it all comes full circle. We drink it. It becomes our blood and waters the plants we eat. It gives life and holds memory and emotions, shown in water crystals exposed to different energies. We need to give back and love and care for it, then that comes full circle.
For what happens when the waters stop flowing?...the winds stop blowing?...the Earth stops growing?...the fire stops glowing?
