magine the spaces in which you live through the lens of water
we are part of the hydrological cycle, not separate from it. we are part of water’s path.
water moves through us, connecting us to creatures, clouds and creeks that came before and after we swallowed it.
ocean, salmon, trees, streams, rocks, seeds, all help keep us alive, & waterkeepers show respect, gratitude, wonder, for water’s gifts
water has a syntax i am still learning
