Let the Water Speak
My friend, James, once said,
“When I’m feeling lonely,
I drink a glass of water
and that almost always
makes me feel better.”
Seemingly simple advice.
Should the water be iced
or room temperature?
But there are, of course,
larger things to say.
Everything is created
of water. Everything is
created in water. So
when we drink water,
we bring into our bodies
the creation of the universe.
When we drink water,
we bring back the dead
for a moment. So, please,
lift your glass of water,
with ice or not, take a sip,
and bring back everyone
and everything
that you’ve lost.
