Swirl It Up

“Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it.” — Lao Tzu

“If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water.” — Loren Eiseley

When water is still too long, it gets stale. Movement and flow filters and cleans. Rather than sit in the house at the end of the day, I took the girls up to Central Park in Roseville for a walk. While the lake was still and green, the falls were clear. After our walk, we drove a few blocks up to Lake Johanna for a dip in the lake.

Water, fresh air and warm sun have magical powers to transform routine and monotony into extraordinary moments.

Be grateful and aware for what already is present right now or a mile from home. If you don’t remember, swirl it up and it will soon appear hiding in plain sight.

“We forget that the water cycle and the life cycle are one.” — Jacques Yves Cousteau
