Reminders

OK, doozy of a morning. Wow. The wind was impressive. At one point, I thought I was going to blow away. The rain was sideways. The sun was nowhere to be found. I think it was taking a holiday; you know the kind where you don't have access to email or anything like that. It shocks me that such a morning could come after a beautiful day like yesterday. It's a reminder of the power of nature. The lake looked like the stormiest of oceans. It was also a reminder of the power of water.

Water is a paradox. It can display the extreme qualities of submission when it offers no resistance to anyone or anything that enters it. When you go swimming, the water just envelops your shape. Not only that but it supports you and you float which makes it easier to move through the water. However, on the other hand, water can pick you up and crush as in this photo today. If you've ever been to Niagara Falls then you understand the awesome power of water. I noticed though that water needs a little help from the environment in order to be formed into this awesome power. Things such as wind and rocks help to actualize the power potential of the water. It has been said that the feminine force in all of us is akin to water. This thought has fascinated me for days now. The range of behaviour is extreme but perhaps so is the power?
