Being Water
WATER NEVER WAITS. It changes shape and flows around things and finds the secret paths no one else has thought about – the tiny hole through the roof or the bottom of a box.
There’s no doubt water is the most versatile of the five elements. It can wash away earth; it can put out fire; it can wear a piece of metal down and sweep it away. Even wood which is its natural complement can’t survive without being nurtured by water.
Waiting patiently doesn’t suit me. I have a great deal of H20 in my personality. And yet I haven’t drawn in those strengths in living my life.

We live our lives like water flowing down a hill. Going more or less in one direction until we splash into something that forces us to find a new course.
I am all puddles, ponds, lakes, and oceans.
I flow in savage splendor down rocky ravines,
laughing as the sound of torrential, thundering water
bounces and echoes from the rocks.

Yeah, I saw your ping as well, just before mine. Funny - two souls, same topic, lol
you forgot the most important - we can't survive without water! er... how long? 48hrs... or less? we can survive without food for over 100 hours but not water.
water has a very calming effect on me, esp. water from a fountain/waterfall or a beautiful lake. i love posters which have water in it e.g. waterfall, sea, tap dripping, water spot on a leave, etc.
ah. i love sky juice! :)
