This site contains various facts that link clean water to economic prosperity, with special focus on the Puget Sound area. But a collection of facts is not more a science than a heap of stones is a home. It is about cultivating a perpetual condition of wonder in the face of something that forever grows one step richer and subtler than our latest theory about it. It is about reverence, not mastery. No one should approach the temple of science with the soul of a money changer.
Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought.
The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking. Science sans conscience n'est que ruine de l' me. In the spring rain, The pond and the river Have become one. Now drops that floated on the pool Like pearls, and now a silver blade. In endless eddies, through whose clear brown deep The gorgeous pebbles quiver in their sleep.
