Days by the Water

Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient. Dripping water wears away a stone. Remember that, my child. Remember you are half water. If you can't go through an obstacle, go around it. Water does. 

Margaret Atwood, Canadian author, in The Penelopiad (2005)

 

"Welcome," says the barista. "Welcome," says the water.  A new life chapter begins on the waterfront. How refreshing and positive it feels! I'm watching ferries and planes as the sun sparkles on the lake. Everything is alive with movement. This is going to be grand! So stay tuned. :-)
