I am 70% water.
Swimming at age 5.
(And so are you.)
The Earth is 71% water.
I’ve been thinking about the qualities of water a lot lately.
Water is flexible – easily fits and flows around other more concrete objects.
Water is open to change -- rapid change.
Water reacts and responds to the environment around it – the wind, shoreline, air temperature.
Water can gently changes the shape of things over time.
Water can wear down things that are difficult, heavy and resistant, such as stones at the beach.
Water flows easily, goes where there is least resistance.
And yet there is so much hidden under the surface of water.
I can immerse myself in water.
Submerge.
Rounded Maine Beach stones.
Float, sink.
Swim through.
Dive and dip.

Water has been a muse for my work for a long time.
And so on this breezy March day – I tip my hat to water.
Without water, I could not make my art, dye my threads, or paint.
Without out water, I would not exist.
Thank you water.
