In the third world, right this very minute, this instant I am speaking to you, there are children dying for want of water. In fact, there are 30,000 children who will die today because of lack of water. These children go without water for so long that their tongues swell to twice the normal size and stick to the roofs of their mouths and the backs of their throats. It would mean far more to them, than to us. Perhaps we think the water is probably a bit dirty because of all the hands that have been in it, but something we can change without a thought by just turning on a spigot.
Water is life.
It makes up more of our bodies than anything else. We swam in it as we developed in the inner world between creation and the world outside our mothers bodies. It is water that flows from us in our tears through good times and bad. It is water we bathe in, and drink to survive. Water is a universal need for all living things.
