Water as miracle
A transcendent miracle, miraculous life, everything is the creation of water, of awe, of wonder, of mystery, of implausibility. Reverence. That springs are alive, the source of life, of emergence, where life comes out from the ground, the true treasure. The silent dark of a deep inner cave in the earth, total darkness, nothing of the earth or sun or fields, utterly nothing, and then a drop of water hitting the pool. "The first act of creation."
"The only way to get across is to have the sole intention of finding water."
Nature as creator
The curve of tinajas, more effective than anything made by a non-natural process. Waterpockets, a thousand wells on the sandstone. That each individual seep is like a metronome when measured.
Ancient water trails
The pattern hundreds of years old in the desert, ancient waterways, of people who could walk to the ocean, when we could not today go a fraction as far, because they had the knowledge of where the water is and their paths followed that.
Joy
Joy in the face of miracle, abundance, the creeks that appear from a dry creekbed at sunset, fish that are remnant of a glacier or pre-glacier time, or from before the Grand Canyon was carved.
THE WORLD IS A MIRACLE
