Dear Friends -
70% of the earth is covered with water. Between 55 - 65% of our bodies consist of water, more when we are children. We are deeply connected to water. Without it, there would be no organic life. Without it, there would be no civilization as we define and experience it; you would not be reading this.
When we reflect on that fact with a still mind - the kind of stillness invoked by the composer Joep Franssens in much of his work which is placed in the genre of New Spirituality- we have to accept that the age-long fight for dominance by us humans over Nature cannot be won. Nature does not care; the oceans do not care. Even in the most polluted areas of the seas, their ebb and flow continues, and the waters affect our daily lives.
