“The Art of Water” By Evie Carrier

Not only do we cohabitate the planet with water— in many ways we collaborate with it as well. There are all those special sights and sounds water so delightfully shares with us: the always-changing shoreline landscapes; the music of a hummingbird hovering in the mist; rippling reflections shimmering in street-borne puddles—until broken by the intermittent steps of rushing feet. Water allows us to ride along with seafaring leaves in autumn, and in winter, like in a wind-driven bobsled, we glide within them across the drifting snow. Outside our dreamy bedroom windows, frozen water reflects every sparkle of light around it to illuminate Santa's Christmas way. It is truly a wonder how we connect with water in a myriad of ways.
