Water, so precious, the foundation of life.
Here in these baking summers, how much we appreciate this simple gift of being.
This is the source, it is flow made visible and like a liquid diamond, it reflects life from innumerable facets.
Water, air and soil, these are the true riches.
This natural capital, freely available to all, is our inheritance and our offering to all who come after us.
Sitting at the well I am full. I need no more.
