Our disputants put me in mind of the skuttle fish, that when he is unable to extricate himself, blackens all the water about him, till he becomes invisible.

-Joseph Addison
In The Spectator, no.476, 5 Sept.

I always love to look at ocean, sea, lakes, any body of water that overwhelms me when I look at it. It’s exciting to go to a park and just be around, respecting it present and the depth of the life it hold within. My fascination with water is just curiosity; I just can’t come not looking away from it miraculous color and smell when approach the sandy beaches and just look out toward the horizon, knowing that there no end to it. This H2O (water) has been here since the forming of the earth, at the peak of creation. If the ocean could talk, what stories it would tell us, the start of life crawling from endless of this liquid. My fascinations with water start when I about ten or twelve, and my best friend and I would go into the woods and just explore the other side of country. There was this old railroad track that was about mile away from where I stayed. My friend and I were curious to where it lead to, so we follow the track to see where it winded up. We kept following it then we heard something, the closer we get the louder it got. There was like a mist of smoke like water or something, as we came around the old tracks there before our own eyes was a waterfall. It was like the waterfall you see in the movies, like a tall waterfall, it was taller than a ten storage building. The railroad bridge that went across it, at that age I was afraid of highest, and dared not to cross it. We went do to check it out, and the flow of water that was pouring on the side of the cliff looked amazing. I don’t know that we had something like that behind where we stay, it was exciting to just look at it, and we follow the river toward the end, but the bigger and wider it got. So we stop and

    For survival, man depends on water. It circulates and goes through our bodies, replenishing nutrients and carrying away waste materials. Water came from the ice-capped mountains, melted and eventually became rivers and to oceans. It is the most distributed substance on our planet, and in different amounts it is available everywhere and plays a major role in human life. Of most importance is fresh water. No activities of human being and life is impossible without it because it can be substituted by nothing. In different histories, water has been a facet of ritual. Civilizations have emerged in different countries. The Chinese civilization originated in the Yellow River (Huang Ho) and the Egyptian from the Nile River. Both rivers have the ability to produce fertile soil, which made it easy for cities to spring up alongside the banks.…

    flow of life in water.

    The fact that water is a source of nature in its true natural form and the main and important characteristic of it is because of its very versatile form truly inspires me. If we look at the other elements of earth like fire,wind and soil we see that water is the most versatile of all the elements. We put the water in a cup it takes the shape of it, we heat it up it boils up extremely and then we cool it, it turns into ice. Although we put this element through a lot of extreme circumstances it still remains a water neither changing its essence and maintaining its true nature, versatility and fluidity. There have been many interpretations of water from a very long time as a giver to life as well as a destroyer. This extreme qualities of water really puts my mind into a deep sense of questioning and mystery. Before water was something very usual to me, it was something that i used to keep myself clean and drink when i was thirsty. But now as i go deeper into the study of water like the mysterious form it has and like the depths of the wide oceans and seas i just keep submerging deeper and deeper like how the magnetic current pulls you deeper inside but yet keeping me afloat teaching me about the unusual and the mysterious way the world works. You can touch water,even feel it, you can contain it but yet you cannot control it, you can turn it into solid, and even turn it into gas so what is water?...and what does it show us or teach us about life?...does it teaches us to be very fluid and rigid, to adapt ourselves to the surroundings as well as not to forget our true essence, to flow and not flow, but yet to be like water...? A big question in my inner conscience which has been there for a very long time,i have been exploring various philosophies about water in art,in science,in religion and even in the great theory of chaos and i come to realize that water is the main part of the dynamics of life. It shows us about the flow of life itself.…
