A MOUTHFUL OF WATER

I have been witnessing species extinction over many years, painfully awake to the unfolding death of our natural world.

​

My learning of story, narrative and myth over this same passage of time, has helped me see that humans do have capacity to balance their presence on this planet.

​

To begin, we learn to relate with water, for water more than anything, mirrors the health of the human world.

Up here with the forest, there's more shade, water pulses deeper underground, seeps to the surface, leaks sometimes. Before I moved to the headwaters of the Richmond, I lived down river for a while, beside the Pacific Ocean, that mercurial mass of definitive blue with it's bleached drift wood and bright morning skies.

​

It was different water-time for me then, I wrote to the incoming and outgoing tides. For a year I wrote a daily reflection on water, as a practice and a learning, and I bundled all those words up as ‘a mouthful of water’.

​

Please join me on a month-long creative expedition exploring writings from ‘a mouthful of water’ . Sign up and you'll receive a short water ponder, emailed to you each day for 29 days ( a month by the moons).
