*Many thanks to the Biotope of Healing at Tamera Community and the Water
Symposium 2013. Their experience of restoring water landscapes is
reminiscent of Mikhail Kravcik's statement: "The most important right in the world is the residential rights of a drop of water"…to return again to
the cycle of life.*
Water is the source of life; we are water beings who all belong to the water cycle. We are part of it. We all originate in a "big drop" growing inside a woman’s body, thanks to love, and that is something that moves me so deeply in my personal life. Humans are part of the water cycle, and
through water we can connect with this fact in our daily lives, with the small details of life and through water we relate to the very complex problems of water on the Planet. This also connects us at a level that opens up the possibility to conceive of a utopia. Water has the power to drive our feelings and our thoughts to the sky, to give thanks for life.
