World Water Day


I love water!
I love the ocean.
The sight, the sound, the taste.
Her strength , her calm, her fury.
I love gushing streams,
And wide open lakes.
I love a hot, sudsy shower
To start my day and clear my mind.
I love to sip a tall glass of
Ice cold water, rimmed with lemon.
I love the therapy of water.
I love that I never have to think about water.
It pours freely.
Abundant; wherever I go.

But today is different.
Today is about the
860 million people who
do not have access
to safe water.
Every day
they scavenge
for the basic human need.
People walk 3.8 miles
to get water.

Water Is Life.
Let it Rain.

With love and hugs.
