Water is Alive

Everything is alive, but more so water is alive. Water has emotion. It can feel things. If its mad it can drown you in its great abyss, when its excited it will sway back and forth making ripples on the surface. or when its happy it can be as smooth as butter. Its also a shelter to many live things as well so it comes full circle in its own way. Growing up in the middle of San Antonio, the only water I was exposed to was a pool and the occasional river float. The friend group that I somehow found myself being captured into all had one thing in common, they were people of the water. Yes, that sounds like a really dramatic sentence, but seriously, if reincarnation is a thing they all would come back as fish for sure or some type of aquatic animal. I never understood why these people were so obsessed with water and when ever I would ask they would just say "you have to feel it to know it!"

Honestly, I kind of thought they were crazy when they all kept telling me that. Until they physically put me in their shoes and took me out on a lake for the first time. Being on a lake with the wind in my hair and the water at my finger tips was incredible. Jumping into the water for the first time, it swallowed me whole and then opened its mouth to give me the privilege of coming up for air. Once I got in, I never wanted to get out. There is this feeling that you get when you feel the emotions of life around you in the water that is so hard to explain. You won't truly understand it though until you experience it for yourself.
