I walk around the beach in the early afternoon, after taking five bowls of fresh coffee

The sun is burning my mind, the sea was so rough, there were lots of warnings

Everything seems so fast, people, masks, I wish I could dive in the sea, surfboarding

I soak my head in a freshwater shower, I keep on walking, I ride until the final point

I think a lot, I judge a lot, I feel quite irritated

But I keep my calm, keep my cool

Ain’t no need to get frustrated

I say thank you to the nature

I am burning out, I need a pool

The time is already about ten for two

I walk, I ride, I ride, I ride

The summer breeze gets me refreshed

That's how I keep me sane

And no one's finally get to blame me

At the end it was an adventure

All kind of people, I think of home

I walk a little more, until the 12 station

The cold water sea challenges me, I dive in

Which washes me, it sets me finally free
Does Drinking More Water Reduce Obesity? — Daily Life Hacks
Tags: Weight, Water, Obesity, Weight Loss Tips, Weight Loss

The study, led by Miguel Lanaspa, a scientist at the University of Colorado Denver in the United States, found that drinking more water helps reduce obesity, the details of which were published in the latest issue of the online research journal JCI Insight. Research in recent years has shown that drinking large amounts of water daily improves our physical and mental health, while another hypothesis suggests that drinking large amounts of water is also beneficial in reducing obesity.

American scientists at the University of Colorado, after conducting experiments on rats, said that if a large amount of water is drunk daily, the hormone “vasopressin”, which causes obesity, is controlled and as a result, obesity is controlled to a great extent.

To confirm the hypothesis that more water is important for reducing obesity, medical experts at the University of Colorado conducted experiments on rats that showed a clear link between drinking more water, and the performance of the “vasopressin” hormone. Discovered “Vasopressin” is a multipurpose hormone whose functions range from a variety of responsibilities, from controlling blood pressure to maintain a normal body temperature. However, in some studies, it has also been identified as a biomarker for autism.

Vasopressin also plays a key role in maintaining the right amount of water internally in the body, while high levels have been noted in patients with obesity and diabetes. A study in Colorado found that rats fed large amounts of plain water daily for a few days had significantly lower vasopressin performance, leading to a higher rate of fat digestion during metabolism also improved.

Although these experiments have been performed on rats, it is hoped that by drinking more water, almost the same effects will be seen in humans. It has also begun preparing for human trials. Remember that 60% of the adult human body is made up of water. Recent studies have shown that it does not only improve the metabolism of food but also reduces nervous tension and helps in weight loss. It also benefits the ability to learn.

I think one of the most difficult issues to be told after Covid-19 is the drought issue.

New Normal drought, What awaits us in 2021?

I think one of the most difficult issues to be told after Covid-19 is the drought issue. The World is droughting increasingly with get precipitation that falls below seasonal norms and wrong water used.

Many people warned that in the coming period water scarcity and agricultural drought gonna keep going.

Incorrect and excessive use of water causes us not to reach drinking water and desertification. We need to be more careful about this and invite the public to raise awareness about the use of water without wasting it.

When the natural balance is disturbed, both social and ecological disorders can occur.

WE CAN’T FIGHT WITH NATURE BUT WE CAN CONTROL.

Benefits Of Using Reusable Water Bottles
Tags: Water, Eco Friendly, Sustainability, Reusable, Bottled Water

All the thanks to David Attenborough for throwing the light on the pollution caused by plastic waste, reusable water bottles are getting a lot of attention.

Believe it or not, around 50 billion single-use plastic bottles are produced yearly around the world, but they will never decompose fully. Environmentalists expect that in our oceans there will be more plastic than fish by 2050. But what can we do about it?

100,000 single-use plastic bottles are

produced worldwide every minute

Every single person can make a difference, for example, if a single person bought a reusable water bottle, that could lead to an average saving of 156 single-use plastic bottles. Having a reusable water bottle can be beneficial for the environment, for your finances, for example, in the UK the price of a 1L plastic water bottle is £1 and the average consumption for an individual is 150 bottles per year so having a reusable water bottle can save you around £150. Finally, your health, single-use water bottles contain an industrial chemical called BPA (bisphenol A). BPA impacts your wellbeing in more than one way. The toxic chemical is associated with reproductive, immunity, and neurological disorders, as well as an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease, childhood asthma, metabolic disease, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

LaViemate reusable water bottle, the eco-friendly bottle can be a perfect alternative for single-use plastic bottles, the bottle is made of high-quality stainless steel (BPA free) and provides thermal insulation and a leakproof body. Finally, it comes with a variety of sizes, colours, and designs.
Here’s why you should not drink water standing up!
Tags: The Right Way, Fitness, Health, Water

We all have the habit of filling up a glass of water and gulpig it all down right away, often while standing. Since we all believe that there is nothing wrong that water can do, we don’t give it a though how we are having it - standing or sitting. Well, wake up to the reality. When you have water standing up, you don’t get the required nutrition. Shocked? Water, if not consumed in the right manner, can be very bad for you and put you at risk of potential health problems.

There is actually a right way to have water to detoxify the body and gain all the nutrients and minerals. And no, it cannot be achieved when you stand up and drink!

When you drink water standing up, the water which goes in passes through the system with a straight gush, not really reaching the organs where it is supposed to do the job. Hence, the impurities which are supposed to go out get deposited in the kidneys and the bladder.

Standing up and drinking water makes the body out of sync with nature and triggers the nervous system, making it feel it is facing danger. The nutrients really go waste this way and your body is bound to face stress or any tension.

And worst, drinking water this way doesn’t actually satisfy your thirst. Since the water goes directly through, the requires nutrients and vitamins don’t reach the liver and digestive tract. This is because when you stand and drink water, it travels through the system really fast and you risk your lungs and heart functions. The oxygen levels also get disturbed this way.

Hence, there is a very valid reason to sit down and gulp your water, the same way it is recommended that you sit down and have your meal. Our bodies are designed in a way that you get maximum health benefits when you sit down and keep your back erect. When you drink your water from a bottle or a glass sitting down, the nutrients reach the brain and boost its activity. It also aids better digestion this way and ensures that you don’t feel bloated after having water. Drinking water this way passes through the regular designed track and ensures all the benefits are achieved in the organs. Toxins go away, impurities are flushed out and your health improves overall!
What you say is true.
By: Hyla Picta
Tags: Water, Oceans, Fishing, Ocean Conservation, Conservation

What you say is true. However this sentiment is ironic coming from WWF. I live in rural coastal Belize - amidst jungled karst hills, one of the final biomes on earth supporting jaguar and all 5 of Central America's 'Big Cat' species. On a vast estuary, fed by 5 wild & pure jungle rivers - which has been designatd by IUCN as a Catagory IV Wildlife Samctuary. However, the largest mining company in North America is now beginning the process of creating a 14,000-acre strip mine to acce4ss the limestone from these ancient hills. And WWF is complicit. A WWF director of Central America came here - with the mining company officials - telling us a strip mine where our pristine jungles used to be, and a "material handling" conveyor belt - going through the "most important Hawksbill Turtle nesting sites in the entire Caribbean" - is a good thin g and will "provide jobs". Are you serious?

The pure jungle creeks flowing out of the hills to be dynamited, are tributaries into this IUCN Wildlife Sanctuary. This huge estuary feeds and nourishes the nearby Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. I can show you baby tarpon and other reef fish breeding in the little creek at the foot of hill #1. This reef - the planet's 2nd largest, is now arguably the only verdant, vibrant reef in the world.

When this primordial coral reef feeding- systems is ruined by wanton mining - promoted by WWF - where are you going to get your oxygen?
A Drop In The Bucket
By: Cheyin Goglas
Tags: Water, Contamination, Utilities, Public Service, Boil Water Advisory

I find it highly disturbing that I had to find out I found about a boil water notice via Twitter from my county government. Mind you, I don’t really look at my Twitter account at all. I actually found out when my son’s after school care facility sent out a notice, who found out through Twitter.

We had known there was an issue with the water supply the day before because all of a sudden our faucets were running really slowly. Then miraculously, two hours later they were working again. Really didn’t think much about it.

In this day and age, most people do not have the news channel on the TV running in the background. Local radio is often supplanted by a music streaming service or podcast. It is on the local government to reach out and make sure that the people who are paying for service get notified that there could be possibly dangerous contaminants in their drinking water.

You go one week late on paying your water bill, and I promise you they’re leaving voicemails and shutting off your water really quickly. But when it comes to disruptions in service or issues such as the need to boil water, well, they fall significantly short.

There is no excuse at this moment with the technology that is available to us that the water department cannot isolate accounts in a certain area and send a text message or robocall to let the public know that there may be an issue with the water supply. Doesn’t seem like a big deal until a construction crew breaks a water main or the Joker decides to poison the water with his laughing gas.

Hillsborough County is significantly behind in their notification system and need to rectify it immediately. This is not a small population, with 1.4 million people living in this county alone. Seems like they should have a better way of letting know people who are affected by lack of water service or possibly tainted water than by Tweeting or relying on Facebook groups that are not affiliated to the government. It is well past time to make this happen.

6 ways to conserve water at home
By: Tap The Tap
Tags: Water, Water Shortage, Water Conservation, Water Scarcity, Climate Change

To bring a change you first start at your own home. There are so many simple ways that you can adopt to play your part in saving water reserves. We bring you 6 simple ways to reduce water usage at your homes.

Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth

By doing so, you can save upto 6 litres of water per minute.

2. Take short showers.

Showers use water anywhere between 6–45 litres per minute. Try using aerated showerheads that combine air and water together or install a regulator in your shower which can determine the upper limits of water flow.

3. Even better, try taking a bath instead of showers

Baths consume much less water than showers. Also you can try using a bucket. Both of these methods will reduce water consumption in households.

4. Install dual-flush toilets

Toilets contribute to about 1/5 of indoor water use. Consider upgrading your single flush toilet to a dual flush system to save up to 80L of water per day.

5. Water your plants with greywater

A greywater system can help you save drinking water by watering your garden with water from the bath, shower or washing machine. A greywater system in a 4 person house can provide around 40, 000L of water per year to use on your garden.

6. Steam your vegetables

Do steam vegetables instead of boiling them. This can save water and help preserve more of the nutrients in your food. Microwaving would use even less water than steaming.

Save water, its an essential resource.
Pond Stewardship for Catching Fish
By: Bruce Kania
Tags: Water, Lake, Paleo, Fishing, Climate Change

Here at the Shepherd Research Center, we have a lake with very high fish productivity. It’s called Fish Fry Lake, and it lives up to its name. Amazingly, when we moved here, this water was so nutrient-saturated that its dissolved oxygen levels were only about one third of what Cutthroat require to survive. Today Cutthroat are doing well, despite our being located thirty miles east of Billings, out on the plains, where water can get very warm in the summer.

Our friends come help us harvest the phosphorus out of Fish Fry Lake.

Two Minutes per Fish

On our small research lake, Fish Fry Lake, which is 54 acre-feet of water, we harvest at least 6,000 fish annually, a mix of panfish and larger fish. We do this to cycle inflow phosphorus out of the water, to prevent HABs (harmful algae blooms). The fish are accumulators of phosphorus so we take them out of the system. It’s much more pleasant to catch panfish fish than it is to harvest aquatic vegetation, by the way!

We trade nutrients for fish, feeding the fish instead of algae.

We target one- and two-year old bluegill, sunfish, and largemouth bass. These guys readily hit flies, and flies dressed up with a bit of GULP too. Again, goal is to harvest and remove phosphorus.

Success looks like fifteen kids catching 879 fish in four hours, or ten kids catching 634 fish in the same time, on different days, but similar settings. We catch all of these fish from shore or from walkable BioHaven floating islands, so we don’t need boats. In other words, the logistics are relatively simple.

We take the “keepers”, the one- and two-year old fish, and run the entire fish — including scales and guts — through a Kitchen-Aid grinder, turning it into fish hamburger. Yes, we have to cut the fish into grinder-size pieces, so there is an “operation” involved. Then we blend the fish burger with our wild game…which includes venison and elk trim, goose, duck, pheasant, and any other freezer burned game meat.

I tell you what, the result is a paleo food for our three canines that is “off the chart” from their perspective! They love it! This includes a seven-week-old yellow lab! Which makes me think, what the hell do they add to the kibble that currently functions as mainstay food for our beloved pets? I don’t care if it’s “made in China” or what, regular kibbles are a mystery. Anymore, it’s hard to convince our canines that kibbles are “food”!

Swapping Computer Screens for Fishing Poles

Another thing that’s amazing to me is that so many young people are no longer in touch with fishing. So many kids have never been fishing, and even fewer have caught fish. Still fewer know how to clean fish. Still fewer know how to fillet fish. But rest assured, lots of kids have experienced “all of the above” here at Fish Fry Lake. Maybe a little fish slime on their computer keyboards isn’t a bad thing!

One of our young friends trying figuring out a rod and reel.

What about you? Do you take your kids fishing? Have you tried living on a paleo diet?
Why is it important to conserve water?
By: Tap The Tap
Tags: Water, Environmental Issues, Water Scarcity, Water Conservation, Climate Change

People think that since 71% of Earth is covered in water, it’s not important to save water, what they fail to acknowledge is that 97% of the total water on Earth is salt water and it is not suitable for drinking. We are left with only 3% fresh water, out of this 3%, only 0.5% is available for drinking; the rest 2.5% is either locked (in the form of ice caps, glaciers, soil, the atmosphere or under Earth’s surface) or too polluted for consumption. Now, imagine if we end up wasting all that water, there won’t be any life on Earth. All of this makes water a very precious resource but unfortunately humans are failing to protect it. Its not too late, we must face it, acknowledge that it is important to conserve water, be responsible and start doing our part. Water demand outweighs the ability to supply at the rates it is being demanded and if circumstances do not improve, this will just get worse. We need to understand that we don’t have an endless amount of water and we must take action on individual level. Here are some reasons for why is it important to converse water;

1- Countless uses of water but limited resources



Water maintains sewage systems, its needed for crops, we use it for cooking, water is needed to wash everything and humans need it the most.

2- Conserving water minimizes the effects of drought and water shortages

3- Population growth and increase in demand of water

4- Water protects ecosystem and wildlife



It is not only humans that live on Earth, we share the planet with plants and animals. Water is essential for them to thrive. Remember plants produce oxygen for human beings; if plants die we all die. Animals are equally important too, they are responsible for balancing the biological life cycle on Earth.

5- Water is required for recreational purposes



We don’t just have to worry about swimming pools, spas and golf courses. Many of the freshwater resources are used for purposes such as watering lawns, trees, flowers and vegetable gardens as well as washing vehicles and filling public fountains in parks are also used to beautify our surroundings. Failing to conserve water now can mean missing out on those uses later.

We should start saving water today, don’t think if nobody’s doing it why should you. Your efforts count individually, even if you think it is something small like closing the tap while brushing your teeth, it still has impact. Conserving water should be a way of living, not just a practice. Stop taking it for granted and remember it is not only scientists, hydrologists, foresters, activists, environment protectors, city planners, farmers or mine owners’ responsibility to save water, every human being is responsible for it!

Adam-

I kind of feel like Medium already is social media for creative thinkers.

As far as the rest of the underdeveloped world, we should probably focus on some of the basics the rest of the world takes for granted first.

Water is a great start.

The reason I’m a proud supporter of charity: water as a Spring Member is because if we establish one of the basic fundamentals, then communities can grow and share and eventually be both receivers and sharers of information and ideas will spread.

Water is kind of like TED for the less fortunate… it’s a great idea worth spreading.

A developer could come out of an underserved community because instead of hauling water miles every day, she goes to school, is fascinated by STEM, and is so grateful for her opportunity, that she commits her life to technology.

She spends her life developing a product she discovered in the ether of thought shared by a guy named Adam half way around the world…

Yep, I think you’re on to something!

Enjoyed your article.

This is a response to a tag from Tooth Truth Roopa Vikesh. My thoughts immediately went to the Blobfish — misunderstood for so many years, voted the ugliest creature in the world in 2013, and honestly a fairly normal-looking fish when you leave him in his natural habitat. His plight is heartbreaking and reminded me of struggles that many go through in an attempt to fit into a world that’s not quite meant for them.

10 Ways to Reduce Your Use Of Single Use Plastic.

Chris Jordan

Single use plastic is a global problem. Here are some stats that begin to show the scale of the problem, try not to choke on them. 5.8 billion single use plastic bags, 24 million plastic water bottles and 4.5 million pieces of single use plastic cutlery are disposed of every hour. At the rate we are going there will be more plastic in the ocean in 2050 by weight than fish. Plastic is not a problem with an end in site. Rather, we are 30 years into a catastrophe that gets worse every day. Governments have not governed, regulators have not regulated, leaders have not led. What we have done is normalized insane behavior. As almost all single use plastic is unnecessary, it’s past time for all of us to reduce our use of single use plastic. The following steps can reduce individual plastic use by 90%.
Friendly Reminder To DRINK MORE WATER

Do you like kidney stones? Probably not right? They are these painful, calcified (sometimes jagged) rocks, and you have to pee it all out. OUCH.

Most people don’t drink enough water in their daily lives. The reason why is because we’re often so busy with other commitments, we forget!

On top of that, most of us are sitting in air-conditioned rooms, so we usually don’t experience a significant feeling of thirst, even if our body needs it!

Kidney stones are only one consequence of not drinking enough water. Your blood may become thicker, increasing the risk of clots. You may feel tired and drowsy. Your skin can dry. There is a plethora of issues that may occur if you don’t drink the liquid of life!

It’s these small habitual choices that help build the overall health of your body. Rather than drinking 2 glasses of water per day, try 7 or 8! Rather than sitting in front of your computer, stand! Walk around!

We all know the importance of water, but we often take that for granted since it is readily available to us in. Don’t forget about the small stuff! Do not forget the basic requirements for your health!

Are you feeling stuck?

Not sure why walking behind a giant truck

Same day daily and lost in your own luck

Losing your curiosity and fencing bad luck

Yes?

Close your eyes and go into deep water

Into the beautiful blue world

Think of all your wishes

Watching sparkling bright fishes

Flush your sadness

Get some madness

It’s just this time has stuck

It’s not like you are out of luck

Bright sun awaits you towards morning

Look at the pink sky so charming

Hold your thoughts there

It's time to stare

Now show your big smile

Finally feel good after a while :)

A British baby wonders, where does water come from?

All her short life water shows up.

She drinks, bathes, cools, and plays in it.

Plus, a critical ingredient of her beloved tea.

Eventually, she learns water surrounds the land.

In disbelief, she sets out to see for herself.

Travelling to the land’s edge and seeing her loved water,

she starts walking along the coast.

Figuring, if water really surrounds her land,

returning to this spot will be inevitable.

And so, her education began.

With water in her view and a constant companion, it sustained her.

She splashed in it, laughing and crying, and ate from it.

Water consumed her thoughts as a friend or lover could.

She started learning its properties and cycles, strengths and desires.

Mimicking water, she became fluid in her thinking,

Fiercely observing what she experienced and saw,

she started sharing her excitement for water with others.

Arriving at a university town, a professor overheard her expounding about her life’s companion.

It was revealed that her awareness of waves and their effect on land, sky, temperature, psyche -

was singular, unique and radical.

Encouraged to speak and write about her observations,

she sparked scientists to rigorously test her thoughts.

Tide, the word, was conceived and coined; coming from her joy and curiosity of water.

Her simple remarkable desire propelled humans to understand oceans and tides.

Ultimately, she returned to her starting spot.

Realizing water surrounded the land, her life, and incited this journey,

she lived poised to curiosities while reluctant to disbelief.
Water Wars 2020

According to Bloomberg, water has joined become one of the commodities traded on Wall Street. A post was made on twitter with the article link. There were responses that are for and against the development.

As a Nigerian, I sat and watched how nationalities of different countries analysed and battled this development. In my country we have (are on) been the on the good and bad side of water (water management). I saw others complaining about the prices they have to pay for running water in their homes but I could not relate because virtually every Nigerian ‘compound’ has a borehole this means that we provide water for ourselves without paying for it directly to the government. This would cause wows from some nationalities especially Europeans, North Americans, and some Asians but the issue here is how clean is the water we are using from our own sunk boreholes? This question has given a rise to a very big sector in country which could be termed ‘water companies’ from large conglomerates to small and medium enterprises profiting from this question.

For instance, I have a borehole in my compound which gives me running water for daily activities but it is not drinkable so I tend to buy sachet water aka pure water as this is what my economic status can afford. Would you say now that these companies are profiting highly from a free and readily available commodity in Nigerian (southern) where there is an abundance of water, shallow water tables?

Ethically, water should be made readily available to all and not be sold. water from certain sources contain certain impurities that could affect the health and several processes. These impurities would have to be removed and all these needs finance (manpower, equipment, etc.).

This brings us to why water is sold.

Yes, I know 70% of the earth is covered with water but how readily available is it? Only 0.5% is readily available for consumption which is fresh water while 2.5% is ice and 97% is salt water.

I believe governments can come to an understanding to make water readily available at an ethically approved price that the common man can afford.

Two liquid states of water finally have been proved by scientists.
By: Hasna Riaz
Tags: Water, Liquid, Matter, H20, Phase

Introduction:

Water is the necessary substance for the survival of life on the earth. Without water, the existence of life on earth will be impossible. This tremendous liquid substance, which is so easy to find, shows strange behaviour regarding its properties. It has been proved that water shows different properties than other liquid substances, such as fluctuations in its viscosity. If seen through a glass, ordinary water shows no interface; however, if we observe it on a micro-level, we can see small local regions of similar density with an interface that gives us evidence about the two liquid states of water.

Water is a strange liquid and has properties that are quite different from other fluids. One such property is that ice can exist in more than one form, including high density and low-density form. Therefore, after seeing such behaviour in ice, scientists thought that water could also exist in more than one form. However, proving it was tough to do. Scientists have been working on this for decades to verify that the two liquid states of water at low temperature with clear interface present between them.

Two liquid states of water:

The study carried out at Stockholm University proved that by rapidly changing the pressure at the temperature of 63⁰C, they observed the two liquid states of water with an apparent density difference of 20%. The study was carried out using the x-ray laser in such a fast way that they were able to observe one liquid form of water changes to the other liquid form before the water froze. This experiment proved that the liquid states of water are real and can unimaginably help us in upcoming technologies and understand biological-related phenomena.

Two liquid states of water influence the biology of creatures:

Fivos Perakis, Assistant Professor in Chemical physics at Stockholm University, said,

“I wonder if the two liquid states as fluctuations could be an important ingredient to the biological processes in living cells.”

He also mentioned,

“The new result can open up many new research directions also about water in biological sciences.”

Two liquid states of water in defence of climate change:

Marjorie Ladd Parada, Postdoc at Stockholm University, said,

“Maybe one of the liquid forms is more prominent for water in small pores inside membranes used to desalinate water.”

He also mentioned,

“I think the access to clean water will be one of the major challenges with climate change.”

Conclusion:

By varying the temperature and pressure more desirably, we can observe two liquid states of water. At low-temperature, researchers were able to attend two liquid phases and the interface between them distinctly.

Give me a fireplace

To call my home

Give me endless embraces and dreams

Let me sip the sweat of your forever tryings

Standing next to you in the clay

Of our never endings.

Taking root…
By: Yana J. Cruz-Pagan
Tags: Roots, Water, Psalm 1, Trees

I am obsessed with trees and I think the reason stems from gardening with my grandfather Hipolito. Interestingly enough the men of our family were the ones with a green thumb. Abuelo planted a cherry tree with my brother and me and still till this day love trees. Maybe because we couldn’t take the tree with us, especially in the Bronx. You have to own a house just for clarification because one year, I had a roommate who thought New York City only had buildings.

Arbol. How the trees roots grow. How they lean in to get sun depending on where they are planted. If that tree is not planted by water, it will use its roots to find a water source. How erosion and nature can sometimes kill a tree. You get the point; but it relaxes me. I want to be a tree planted by streams of water but do I really? So this week meditating and studying Psalm 1 and maybe I will share more on my findings.
What are the Right Questions to Ask About Your Tap Water?
By: Tim Jones
Tags: Manchester, What Are We Drinking, Water, Plumbers, Water Supply

I would first like to say that I am no expert when it comes to the tap water that is provided around the UK. I am a property surveyor but in the last year or so I have become delete interested in local areas and the quality of water that residents receive. I have had various discussions with councils who always seem to say the same thing about the water that comes from our taps: It is safe, clean and provides the nutrients that are required for all water to contain.

It is rare that we question the water that comes through our piping systems and our taps. I imagine plumbers are fully aware of the average plumbing system in the home and probably have more information when it comes to water supply in local areas such as Manchester (where I live). However, beyond plumbers, not many people or should I say the average person probably doesn’t know much about water and where it actually comes from and potentially how it is changing. By changing I mean becoming limited and potentially less clean.

What sparked my interest was a question that a client asked me about the water mains. They seem to think that the position of the house determined what water they received and thus the quality of that water. Previous to this, I’ve never questioned whether or not the property has a better water supply than others. It got me thinking to say the least. What are we being sold? Or more pertinently, what are we drinking? These are the types of questions that I want to answer and thought I would open it up to discussion and find out more information about the water we drink and how the changing climate and the degradation of our planet will hinder this plumbing process. Any suggested further reading would be greatly appreciated and I intend to spend a good amount of time researching this area.

Water

You remind me of love.

How you free

How you engrave

How you destroy

How you sustain

How your depths frighten us

while your essence lightens us

Through your reminders of our insignificance

our connectedness

our helplessness

How unpredictable

How fulfilling

How essential

Oh, how beautiful

How you return.
How I Accidentally Became Vegan

How I Accidentally Became Vegan

Vegan burger at Friends & Brgrs

Last winter while I was living in Key West, I became chronically dehydrated. I was biking at least 4 miles every day going back and forth between my apartment and work. And in case you don’t know, it’s hot in Key West. Like extremely hot. Every single day.

So if you aren’t drinking enough water, you’re going to get dehydrated — fast.

I started to notice it when the skin on my face was becoming increasingly dry and nothing I did was working. No matter how much I spent on skincare products or hydrating moisturizing cream, nothing seemed to work.

My diet at the time was pretty crappy, I’m not going to lie. I was a snack queen. I only liked junk food or greasy food. The thought of cutting out things like sugar or meat, made me cringe. I couldn’t do it. In fact, I wouldn’t do it.

I’d eaten this way pretty much my entire life, why would I stop now?

But after doing a ton of research I ultimately decided the only way I was going to get my sink back to normal was to drink water. And a lot of it. So that’s what I did. I started buying cases of water along with these hydration packets to put inside and I went with it.

It actually took a while for me to see any results because that’s how dehydrated I was, but I did start to notice that I was feeling better and I had more energy overall. Who would have thought that all this time, all I needed was a bit of water. Not me.

Did you really stop

to look at the water

as it moved with

quiet patience

Did you really take in

the rippling river-light

letting it through

your lidded eyes

Did you stop to breathe

the wetness of life —

a clean, simple must

of mud and microbes

Did you really capture

this feeling of being —

reminders of our

original purpose

Did you safekeep this moment

for deskbound days

longing again

to run away
Curiosity pills: there are more water molecules in one liter bottle than stars in the Universe.

Curiosity pills: there are more water molecules in one liter bottle than stars in the Universe.

A mole of water contains, by definition, 6.022x10²³ molecules and weight 18 grams so, approximately, in a 1-liter bottle there are around 3.34x10²⁵ molecules of water. Scientists estimated the whole universe contains between 10¹¹ to 10¹² galaxies, each made of 10¹¹ to 10¹² stars. that means there are between 10²² to 10²⁴ stars in the Universe.

I am this water

Do we forget things when we are very sad?

Or, do we forget things when we are very happy?

It is raining outside. I can hear the murmur of water.

It is all that I know now. It feels that I am this water.

I feel that I have no name. I neither have any past,

nor anything to look forward to.

I am in my room with this murmur of water outside.

This sound of water is beautiful,

in a way that everything is,

it is with me, when all is lost,

or is it just my delusion that it is with me?

Can anyone call me their own?

Why do I want that someone call me their own?

The Drop
By: Mohak Pingle
Tags: Poem, Zen, Me, Water, Metaphor

I am falling,

From the top

Towards the river

Or I thought I was...

I was afraid

If I hit something

Then I'll die

Dodging everything,

I was moving downward..

Didn't know why,

But I was thinking,

That I am separate,

I have my own free will,

Struggling with other drops..

Suddenly, I looked down

There was the huge reservoir

Every drop was hitting it

And becoming one with it

I thought I was independant

I thought I was created by God

I thought I was afraid of,

Inevitable death

An idea flashed in my mind,

Then it became reality.

I am already this water,

I am not separate, independant.

I am the water, and water is me.

I was living a myth,

A myth that created suffering.

Now I am free from everything,

Yet, I am struggling.

About Water
Tags: Water, Ritual, Women, Play, Magic

There was another time a dude told me about a very interesting game one could play with water.

One could create an infinite water by taking a bit of water that has been prayed on and store it in a container that simply gets refilled; always taking the information from the last drops of the older water and passing it on to the new flow.

I thought it was a brilliant idea and I gathered a mouthful of the water we used to pray during a singing circle.

As I started doing it, I suddenly remembered that a friend of mine who was dying of cancer had told me her favourite prayer was “thank you for my life” as she was basically living borrowed time.

I decided to say that prayer every time I drank water from my infinite water bottle because obviously water is life.

I performed that ritual for about a year without a particular goal in mind.

Then, one day, I attended a mushroom ceremony.

They, the mushrooms, the divine children, the playful bunch, had certainly been expecting me.

School. University. Postgraduate. The whole shenanigans were on schedule for me.

We got down to work and that meant I had to undergo a variety of states where my ego was non-existent or very close to non-existent.

In conversation with the wise kiddos, there was a point I knew that I wasn’t understanding what they were transmitting because I no longer knew or remember what it meant to be a human.

There was no fear or resistance, just the sheer awareness of being in a dissonant state of reception.

I was informed I needed to get back into my humanity for a bit and I was puzzled because I didn’t know how to do that.

Then, my water bottle, that praying water I had had for over a year started glowing in my hands.

Not that I could see it because my ego no longer involved eyes or a body, but I could tell the bottle was glowing warmly and coldly at the same time, calling for my attention.

As I paid attention to that glow, I started feeling my hands holding the bottle and I promptly opened it and I gulped down a bit.

With the speed of light, I remembered who I was. My Water had refreshed my memories with Her memories.

In a split second, I remembered what it was to be human and my human life. Then, the shroomy friends took over. The lesson that required my humanity was done in a matter of seconds.

As soon as it was done, I shifted into another state of consciousness, closer to an ego-less situation. Only this time, I had a tool to come back to my humanity whenever I needed it.

I knew I had that tool because I was the one who built it.

I built it with my friend Water.
