The Many Faces of Water

2009.02.10
In one drop of water are found all the secrets of the ocean.
—Kahlil Gibran

“How could drops of water know themselves to be a river? Yet the river flows on”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Before enlightenment - chop wood and carry water.
After enlightenment - chop wood and carry water.
- Zen saying

To put your hands in a river is to feel the chords that bind the earth together."
- Barry Lopez

Don't empty the water jar until the rain falls.
- Philippine proverb

All the water that will ever be is, right now.
- National Geographic

Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth;
without rain, there would be no life.
- John Updike

“In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.”

Leonardo da Vinci

“For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.”

—Antoine de Saint-Exupery

bigjonny Da Vinci hits the nail on the head I think. Water, rivers present a great opportunity for contemplation and metaphor. Nice work.
