Why do we seek the water? Is it because life springs from water? Perhaps it is water’s many sounds that attract us from a trickle to the churn of a storm or somewhere in between. The sounds of water remind us of moments in life. Moments of quiet, of discomfort or leisure. Do we seek the water simply because we like the shimmer of light from different times of day and of different seasons? Or do we just love the thought of water-based activities like swimming, boating, fishing, or surfing? Perhaps somehow, we know that water connects us to everyone else in some small way.
