Reflections on Water


The two of us seek out streams, waterfalls, rivers, lakes and oceans.  When we find them, we often take the time to gaze at the water, watching its movement or its stillness.  We observe the color of the water and we admire much of what is in, on are near it.  Sometimes, we are dismayed by what we see.  But usually, we find ways to be awed by what we find.

This time, we were captivated by the trees, clouds and sky - as the water portrayed them for us on its surface.  On this day, the water showed us a deeper blue and a cleaner white in the clouds than we observed when we looked up.  And it made me wonder if water was trying to show us that we still need to fine tune our ability to see the world around us.

"Look again," says the water with an inviting, quiet voice, "the world around you is more beautiful than you realize.  Take a moment and try to see it how I do."
